See the travel tab - we recommend getting to Miami however you see fit, then booking directly on BOA's website (https://www.boa.bo/) to VVI, or through COPA directly (https://www.copaair.com). Booking through BOA is the only direct flight from the United States; from Miami to Santa Cruz is a 7 hour flight on BOA. COPA is another good option, however, they have a mandatory stop in Panama. Booking directly this way can save many hours and hundreds of dollars, as booking through google flights/etc. will take you all over South America instead of straight to Santa Cruz (if you look on google flights it can show up to 24 hour travel days -- this is not accurate).
We will provide transportation for the welcome party, the wedding, and airport transfers. We recommend Los Tajibos, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel for your stay. This is a Marriott property, so feel free to book online if you'd like to use points! The most significant expense will definitely be the flight, so we advise booking as soon as possible or following airline pricing trends. For any inquiries about hotels and pricing, please feel free to contact Mackenzie or Andre.
Yes! However, it is a fairly easy process that can be completed at the airport upon arrival. We will have someone greet you at the airport to assist with getting your VISA. Please bring $160 USD cash, a print out of your flight (proof of a roundtrip airline ticket), and a print out of your hotel confirmation. This visa will last for 10 years. We will send out more detailed instructions when it gets closer.
For the wedding, the attire is black tie, and for the welcome party, the attire is smart casual (for men, jeans/ linen pants, for women, sun dresses, matching pant/ skirt sets, etc.) The welcome party will be outside in the grass, so please choose your shoes accordingly. Feel free to reach out to Mackenzie or Andre if you have any questions about attire. As a reminder, the seasons are the opposite in South America, so it will be winter. However, Santa Cruz winters are very mild. The weather will most likely be around a high of 75, and low of 55. We will continue to check the weather as the time approaches and provide updates.
