Malia and Squirrel Malia Nice Post Count: 2 Msg: #1 100 days ago, August 29th 2009 | My camera was stolen in Santiago, Chile and I am now in northern Argentina. I am headed to Bolivia and I was wondering if anyone had any information about how to go about getting a new camera. I think La Paz might be my best bet although I would love to get one sooner than that so I can take pictures on my way through Bolivia. What should I expect to pay compared to U.S. prices? Thanks for any advice! |  Ali Ali Watters Post Count: 3880 Msg: #2 90 days ago, September 8th 2009 | About twice the US price in south america is normal. | Many countries have high import taxes. Cheapest will be Paraguay (Ciudad del Este) - but probably not worth going out of your way for. As a general rule - you'll get better prices in the big cities compared to small towns. Brazil has the highest prices in my experience. Number of Users: 2 | Number of Posts: 2 | ||||||||||
