Teaching Jobs in Bolivia

Rough around the edges, but beautiful to its core, Bolivia is for anyone craving something a little different. With more than half of the population made up of indigenous people, you’ll see locals wearing traditional clothes even in big cities. Llama fetuses are sold in local markets, and Bolivians bury them under the foundations of their homes believing it will bring them luck. Babies are carried in colorful blankets slung over their mother's back, while locals avoid cameras, afraid they can steal their souls. Bolivia can be baffling at times, but once you have set off into this wild, wonderful world, you won’t look back.

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Bolivia

Locations

The main cities in Bolivia are where most teaching jobs are found. You can start your hunt for the perfect placement in one of the following places.

Sucre is the capital city of Bolivia. With its picturesque array of whitewashed buildings and lovely patios, it is also the country’s most beautiful city. In the efforts to preserve its colonial architecture, strict controls on development are carried out. Sucre was declared a Unesco World Heritage site in 1991. Although renowned for its historic buildings, prehistoric sites and indigenous culture, Sucre’s top attraction remains its relaxed atmosphere. With a wealth of museums and churches, excellent accommodation options, numerous activities and sites to explore, and a mild climate, Sucre is a sweet place for teachers to work.

Set in a fertile green bowl in a landscape of low hills and fields, Cochabamba has a gentle spring climate all year round. With a population of more than 600,000, Cochabamba is the fourth largest Bolivian city. Although most of the population is poor, parts of the city have a noticeably prosperous vibe. A thriving student population, along with avenues packed with restaurants and bars, give the city a lively air. With prices way below those in La Paz and Sucre, travellers to Cochabamba often find themselves staying much longer than they had planned.

At approximately 12,000 feet above sea level, La Paz is a high-altitude metropolis. Surrounded by high mountains, the city crawled up the steep hills as it grew, resulting in elevations that vary from 10,000 to 13,500 feet. The city’s geography reflects its society. The lower the location, the more affluent the people are, mostly because the areas at the lower altitude enjoy a milder climate. Looking up from the center dotted with opulent houses, one will find the surrounding hills overlaid with makeshift brick houses. The snowy Mt. Illimani offers a backdrop that is nothing short of majestic, and the city experience is completed by charming alleys, lively markets, interesting museums, and the opportunities to interact with locals in a comedor or at a trendy café.
