 visa upon arrival for dual citizen

You might want to take your expired El Salvador passport with you just in case. It might help. I've heard there are so many Americans who don't know about the visa requirement that some have been given visas upon arrival. It seems to depend on the actual immigration official and how well you explain your situation. I would just tell them the truth. That you didn't know you needed a visa.

Your other option would be to call the Bolivian Consulate in Miami and ask them to please see if there is something they can do to help you solve this problem. From what I understand, they are now issuing visas within 48 hours anyways - so it might be possible.
