Do you have a recommended currency exchange site?

Traveling to Bolivia soon and my bank can’t get any bolivianos for exchange. I always like to have a little local currency on me. Is there a site that you use? Thanks!

ATM in Airport

I had the same problem when I went to Argentina. I lucked out and got some at the airport before I left. I cleaned them out which wasn’t much.
But beforehand, I googled a local bank in country that offered services. There was one within walking distance of hotel and was my first stop.

I've been to Argentina a number of times for both work and vacation and the currency situation gets progressively more bizarre as they become more and more of a basket case.
The last time I went a few years ago, I had planned to get pesos at the airport. ATM at EZE is empty. We pay the taxi driver in dollars, which he is extatic about and get into town. Little did we realize that it had been a holiday the weekend before and none of the banks had cash on hand. For the next three days, there were massive lines at every ATM in the city waiting to take out cash.
This isn't even to mention the official government exchange rate vs. the actual exchange rate.
I'm sure in Bolivia as well, dollars will be a popular currency at hotels and the like.

That’s the problem we encountered. Their peso was so volatile, Chase bank refused to order them for us. They were afraid their economy would collapse.
