Epic landscapes and ancient cultures
Bolivia is surrounded by some of South America’s giants, both in terms of size and popularity. However, it more than holds it own thanks to its incredibly diverse landscapes. This is where you’ll find Andean highlands, Amazon jungle, expansive plains and thousands of square miles of salt flats.
Travel from the world’s highest navigable lake of Lake Titicaca to La Paz, the world’s highest capital city, perhaps stopping off for lunch at ancient ruins that pre-date the Incas, and then falling asleep to the sound of spider monkeys in the Amazon rainforest.
Marvel at the shimmering Uyuni Salt Flats that stretch as far as the eye can see, spot flocks of flamingos in the colourful waters of the volcanic lagoons and then embark on a trek through the Maragua crater’s awe-inspiring landscape near Sucre. A trip to Bolivia is not complete without a wander through the cobbled streets of Santa Cruz, or perusing the traditional markets and restaurants littering the city’s plaza.
A trip to Bolivia is often best combined with its neighbouring countries of Peru or Chile – or both – for breadth of lodgings, culture and terrain. Our amazing, hand-picked local guides will help you make sure that you experience the very best of Bolivia. We can plan every step of your trip so you can enjoy the tremendous adventure and fantastic sights of Bolivia knowing that we are taking care of all the details.

Bolivia has some of the most epic scenery in South America. Visiting Salar de Uyuni is like being on another planet with a never ending blanket of white interspersed with beautiful volcanoes and bright, multi-coloured lakes. In the wet season it’s hard to distinguish where the sky and land meet.

Where to go
Eduardo Avaroa Reserve
At the southernmost tip of Bolivia, bordering Chile and Argentina, the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve is an otherworldly looking protected area ranging in altitude between 4,200m (13,800 feet) and 5,400m (17,700 feet).
Discover moreLa Paz
In the shadow of the immense triple snow-capped peaks of Mount Illimani and at altitudes reaching 4,000m, Bolivia’s cultural capital, La Paz has earned itself the moniker of the ‘Tibet of the Americas’ and life at these lofty heights is admirable if not spectacular.
Discover moreSanta Cruz
Located just beyond the last Andean foothills in the tropical lowlands, is Santa Cruz, Bolivia’s economic powerhouse. What was an isolated frontier town until the middle of the 20th century has now become the country’s biggest city.
Discover moreSucre
Sucre, also known historically as Charcas, La Plata and Chuquisaca is the constitutional capital of Bolivia. Thought by many to be the most beautiful city in Bolivia and the symbolic heart of the nation.
Discover moreTiticaca
As one of the highest lakes in the world, shared by the borders of Bolivia and Peru, Lake Titicaca rightly affords itself the slogan of the ‘Sea in the Sky’ and its majestic beauty and extreme setting confirms the beguiling effect it has on people.
Discover moreUyuni Salt Flats
Arguably Bolivia’s most breath-taking landscape, the over 10,000 square kilometres (4,000 square miles) of the shimmering Salar de Uyuni are a must-see.
