  "connection_tips": "Juan Mendoza Airport (ORU) serves the high-altitude city of Oruro in western Bolivia. Negotiate the fare upfront (approx. 15-20 BOB). The terminal is functional with basic passenger amenities Juan Mendoza Airport serves the Bolivian altiplano city of Oruro, where the airport is useful because it shortens a trip across a high, windy plateau.\n\nSituated at 3,700 meters (12,139 ft), altitude sickness is a genuine risk; keep physical exertion minimal after landing Arrive 90 minutes early for domestic departures. A unique connection tip: Oruro is a major rail hub for trains to the Uyuni Salt Flats; the railway station is a short 10-minute taxi ride from the airport.\n\nGround transport is efficient; local taxis and 'micros' (minibuses) meet every arriving domestic flight from Santa Cruz or Cochabamba and take about 15 minutes to reach central hotels. Ensure you have cash (BOB) for local transport If you are heading into the city or onward to the lake district, a taxi or arranged car is the obvious next move. A taxi into the city or rail station should be booked before landing, especially if altitude leaves you short of breath and the airport is only a short ride from the hotel row anyway.",
