The great draw here is a full day on the Uyuni Salt Flats, reached by overnight bus from La Paz. I like that the day combines the Train Cemetery and salt-making at Colchani with time at Incahuasi Island, and I love the plan for a picnic lunch and sunset toast on the Salar. The trade-off … Read more
El Alto’s colorful Cholets are more than eye-catching buildings. Their shapes, colors, and uses reflect a distinctive Andean culture, and this three-hour tour pairs a visit to the city with the cable-car ride from La Paz. It offers an easier way to get beyond the familiar center and make sense of what you see. I … Read more
La Paz makes more sense when you can connect its grand squares, steep neighborhoods, cable cars, and everyday markets with the help of a local guide. This private tour can take in the Witches’ Market, Plaza Murillo, San Pedro, and even Moon Valley, with Mi Teleférico offering a striking view of the city from above. … Read more
The best part of a day on the Salar de Uyuni may come near the end, when the sun drops and the salt flat’s shallow water reflects the sky. This private tour builds toward that scene with a full day of stops, from rusting locomotives near town to giant cacti rising from the white expanse. … Read more
Salar de Uyuni is a place of big, spare sights: a white salt crust stretching to the horizon, rusting locomotives in the desert and giant cacti rising from an island in the middle of the flat. This private day trip lets you see several sides of it without sharing a vehicle with a large group. … Read more
Laguna Charquini is the payoff: an emerald-colored lake beneath the glacier of Huayna Potosí, reached by a high-altitude hike in the stark mountains above La Paz. The route also pauses at viewpoints and Milluni, so the day is more than a drive to one photo stop. I like the contrast between the red waters at … Read more
Valle de las Animas is the reason to set an alarm: you leave La Paz before dawn to see first light reach a field of immense rock formations, often with the viewpoint nearly to yourself. I like that this private outing joins that remote, quiet start to Moon Valley and a city walk, so you … Read more
The salt flats are only the opening act. Over three days, you cross the blinding white Salar de Uyuni, then continue into a high-altitude world of flamingo lagoons, volcanic rock, geysers, and hot springs. The long drives are part of the experience: the scenery keeps changing, and you can watch it unfold without having to … Read more
Uyuni is about nine hours from La Paz by road, making this night bus a practical way to cover the distance while you sleep. I like the reclining seats in a two-to-one layout and the inclusion of dinner and breakfast, two details that can make a long overnight ride easier to manage. I also like … Read more
Uyuni’s salt flat is so vast that the horizon can seem to vanish beneath a white plain. This three-day route takes you from abandoned locomotives to giant cacti, flamingo lagoons, geysers and a red lake, then heads toward the Chilean border. I like that the tour pairs the famous salt flat with the less-visited sights … Read more
