Bolivia Destination Highlights
La Paz
~We recommend 1 to 2 days to explore~
This major city set high in the mountains has under 1 million residents yet it is as unique as they come. At 3,650 metres above sea level, you will certainly feel the altitude if this is your first stop. In La Paz you can visit the spooky and bewildering witchs’ market, the National Congress, the Metropolitan Cathedral all in just one morning.
This colourful city offers a range of cultures and atmospheres from modern shopping centres where traditional Indians and office personal in Armani suites sit side by side, to the stunning Moon Valley (not to be confused with the Moon Valley in Chile) on the outskirts of La Paz made beautiful by erosion formed landscapes. Due to altitude, it is best to enter Bolivia via road. Avoid flying straight to La Paz from sea level.
Uyuni Salt Flats
~We recommend 3 to 4 days for the Salt Flats~
Uyuni is home to the largest Salt Flat on earth. Here you will find endless kilometres of crystalline salt in dazzling pentagons. This surrealist scenery and the sound of silence make the heart beat faster. Drive across the flats, explore colourful lagoons, stunning scenery and surprising wildlife thriving in Uyuni.
Lake Titicaca
~We recommend 1 full day for the Bolivian side of the lake~
While the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca is more famous with its floating reed islands of Uros – the Bolvian side of Lake Titicaca stuns with is mystical islands and charming lakeside town of Copacabana. You can take a full day trip from La Paz to Copacabana or stop here when transferring overland from Puno to La Paz.
