Two islands turn one day into Andean time travel. This tour links the southern part of Isla del Sol with Isla de la Luna, using a shared speedboat and an English-Spanish guide to connect the ruins with Inca and Andean traditions. I like the range of sites, from Pikokaina and the Yumani stairs to the … Read more
High above La Paz, silence does the talking. This full-day outing combines a Red Cable Car ride and 4×4 journey with a high-altitude walk through the little-known Condoriri range. I like the unusual route to the trailhead, and I like the chance to see pristine lakes, llamas, alpacas, and Andean geese in a national park … Read more
Women tell a city’s story. This 150-minute walking tour gives you La Paz through the lives of Indigenous women, students, immigrants, mothers, merchants, businesswomen, and activists. I like its focus on daily life, not just famous sights, and I like that guides bring their own specialties, from folklore and dance to rituals and spiritualism. The … Read more
Stars come first on the salt flat. I like the 3:30 a.m. departure because it gives you both a dark-sky stop and sunrise in one outing, and I like that a guide, 4×4, pickup, entry, and rain boots are included for $59. The catch is the cold—and the mirror effect depends on a thin layer … Read more
La Paz rewards a guide who knows its rhythm. This private tour lets you shape the day around your interests, from the main sights and city history to local places to eat. I like the advance contact with the guide, since it gives you a chance to explain what you care about before you meet. … Read more

La Paz changes character from street to sky. This half-day private outing links central plazas, indigenous traditions, three cable-car lines, and the strange rock formations of Moon Valley in a compact 3.5-hour route. I like the way it shows you several sides of La Paz without asking you to arrange separate taxis, tickets, and guides. … Read more
Salt, sunset, and stars make a rare short outing. This four-hour trip pairs the best evening colors on the Uyuni Salt Flat with a dark-sky show after nightfall. I like that you get both major sights in one outing, and I also like the practical touches: hotel or airport pickup, waterproof wellies, and hot coffee. … Read more
Ancient stone gives this day real weight. This seven-hour outing connects Tiwanaku’s Ceramic and Lithic Museums with the main ruins, including the Sun Gate, Kalasasaya Temple, and Puma Punku. I like starting with the artifacts before seeing the monuments, and I also like having a live guide in English or Spanish to explain what you … Read more
Salt can make the horizon disappear. I like the mix of Salar de Uyuni’s huge white expanse and the much wilder sights beyond it, from flamingo-filled lagoons to geysers and volcanic rock. I also like that the $524 price includes round-trip buses, a 4WD, meals, lodging, and an English-speaking guide. The main drawback is the … Read more
