Two ancient worlds fit into one long day. This private outing pairs Tiwanaku’s carved stones and spiritual center with the high shores of Lake Titicaca, making good use of limited time in Bolivia. I like the hotel pickup in central La Paz and the comfort of an air-conditioned car, especially when you are covering two … Read more
Salt, sky, and a very long day. This $80 tour with Exploor Trip E.R.L. packs Uyuni’s best-known sights into one full outing, from the train cemetery and Colchani to Isla Incahuasi and sunset on the salt flats. I like the early bus-terminal pickup, which lets you join the tour even if you arrive before dawn, … Read more
Night begins where morning ends. This $60 outing from Uyuni combines star and constellation viewing with an early sunrise over the world’s great salt flat. I like that you get two very different views of Salar de Uyuni in one short trip: the dark sky above the salt and the first sunlight reflected below it. … Read more
Two ancient worlds fit into one demanding day. This private trip pairs the southern shores of Lake Titicaca with Tiwanaku’s remarkable stonework, so you cover two of Bolivia’s major sights without arranging separate transport. I like the hotel pickup, private car, and English-speaking guide, which make a long day easier to manage. I also like … Read more
The road drops fast from the high Andes. This one-day ride takes you from La Cumbre at 4,700 meters down toward Coroico, with a full-suspension RMX Rocky Mountain bike, hydraulic brakes, lunch, and a small group of seven riders plus one guide. I like the solid bike setup and the close group size, which should … Read more
The salt flat is only the beginning. This four-day route through Bolivia’s Potosí Department combines the vast Uyuni Salt Flat with flamingo-filled lagoons, geysers, hot springs, volcano views, and the stark Siloli and Salvador Dalí deserts. I love that you get far more than a quick salt-flat photo stop. I also like the small 4×4 … Read more
Salt can look like snow from the sky. This fast-paced two-day trip gives you a 45-minute flight from La Paz followed by a full day across the Uyuni Salt Flats, with a private driver, guide, meals, entry fees, and one hotel night included. I like the aerial start and the fact that you can see … Read more
Concrete can be wonderfully expressive. From La Paz, this three-hour outing takes you by public transport and cable car to El Alto, where colorful cholets and giant painted apartment blocks give you a very different view of Bolivia. I like the cable car ride for its broad city views, and I like the chance to … Read more
Salt, sky, and sunset make a fine payoff. This two-day La Paz to Uyuni trip combines an overnight bus, a full day on the Salar de Uyuni, and a small guided group limited to six people. I like the smart route, which includes the Train Cemetery, Colchani, Incahuasi Island, and the salt flats’ famous perspective-photo … Read more
El Alto turns buildings into bold statements. This three-hour tour takes you above La Paz by cable car, into a part of the city that sees far fewer visitors, and through the colorful cholets built by successful Andean business owners. I like the chance to enter one of these mansions rather than viewing the facades … Read more
