A dramatic journey from the Jesuit missions of the tropical lowlands to the ethereal white expanse of the Salar de Uyun
View dates & pricesAs Featured In
Often overlooked in favour of its more famous neighbour Peru, Bolivia offers the adventurous traveller just about all you could want from a trip to South America, without the numbers of tourists found in other areas. Wondering whether it’s the right destination for you? Our Bolivia safety guide covers everything you need to know before you book. On this two week Bolivia trip we journey through a variety of landscapes from the steamy jungles of the Amazon to the desolate and foreboding salt flats of Uyuni, nestled up against the border with Chile. We visit the lovely Jesuit churches and pretty villages of the Chiquitania, region and the colonial cities of Sucre and Potosi with their amazing architecture, which transports us back to the days of the conquistadors.
We also take time to delve into ancient cultures at Tiwanaku, and embark on an adventure through the mountains of the High Andes, where the barren landscapes have to be seen to be believed. If you’re still planning your South American journey, our Peru and Bolivia itinerary guide is a great place to start. Bolivia is a hotbed of nature, adventure and culture that should be high on the list for any prospective visit to South America.

Bolivia – From the Lowlands to the High Andes
Drawn from the full tour dossier — the standout days, encounters and views our specialists keep coming back to.
The highlights
From the lowland streets of Santa Cruz de la Sierra to the whitewashed city of Sucre and the silver-mining legacy of Potosí, Bolivia's colonial past unfolds across four remarkable days — taking in the Samaipata Fort archaeological site, the Cal Orck'o dinosaur track site, and a guided tour into the working depths of Cerro Rico's famous mines.
Cross the vast white expanse of the Salar de Uyuni, stopping at the giant-cacti-covered Incawasi Island rising from its centre, before venturing into the Siloli Desert's volcanic landscape of coloured lakes, Andean flamingos, and the steaming Sol de Mañana geysers at nearly 5,000 metres.
Bolivia's dramatic high-altitude capital rewards exploration at every turn — from the colonial Plaza Murillo and the Witches Market to the Moon Valley canyon maze on the city's edge. A half-day excursion reaches the pre-Inca temples and monumental stonework of Tiwanaku, one of South America's most important ancient sites.
The journey closes on the shores of Lake Titicaca, boarding a motorboat to the sacred Isla del Sol and its Pilkokaina Inca temple, before visiting Moon Island's Temple of the Sun Virgins and the remarkable floating reed islands of the Urus people.
