Bolivia holidays & tours to La Paz, Uyuni salt flats, Lake Titicaca & Gran Chaco showcase a land of outstanding cultural richness and spectacular natural beauty, frequently described as a microcosm of South America itself. Bolivia is most famous for the Uyuni Salt Flats, the largest in the world, and enormous Lake Titicaca, but compared to its illustrious neighbours it feels a little off the beaten track, with fewer boutique hotels or luxuries. But nonetheless, visitors receive a great welcome here and can enjoy one of the most authentic experiences in the region.
This intriguingly beautiful country is one third high altitude Andean highlands and two thirds low lying Amazon rainforest. The capital La Paz is ringed by volcanoes and is the highest altitude city in the world. There are markets everywhere, including the famous Witches’ Market, with indigenous women wearing their iconic bowler hats and bright clothing. To take in the spectacular setting, there is no better way than aboard the Mi Teleferico, the world’s longest urban cable car network. Spanish and pre-colonial culture meld easily here and the country’s remarkable ethnic mix has generated a fantastic choice of great food and drink on Bolivia holidays & tours to La Paz, Uyuni salt flats, Lake Titicaca & Gran Chaco.
To the northwest, world-renowned Lake Titicaca is shared with Peru. A boat trip across this stunning lake is a wonderful way to visit its islands, many of which are steeped in legend and traditional culture. Most visited is Sun Island, which is believed to be the birthplace of the Inca sun god Inti. The sense of peace and tranquillity on the lake and the jaw-dropping beauty of the electric blue waters make Lake Titicaca one of South America's most memorable sites on Bolivia holidays & tours to La Paz, Uyuni salt flats, Lake Titicaca & Gran Chaco.
In the far south is another natural wonder, the spectacular Uyuni Salt Flats. Once part of a super lake, the variation in altitude of less than one metre means that even when it rains, there is only a shallow sheet of water. The sky and land appear to merge into one incredible landscape, so take a few props as the lack of anything on the horizon lets you take amusing perspective photos.
