Bolivia Address Format
Bolivian addresses run from smallest to largest: recipient, street name + number (often followed by the zone/barrio, e.g. Zona Sopocachi), then the city written in capitals, and BOLIVIA as the last line. The department (departamento) is optional and normally omitted. PO boxes (Casilla Postal) are widely used.
