Top Experiences in Bolivia
If we were asked to choose our top three experiences in Bolivia, we’d go for these.
To deeply explore Uyuni, we customize a tailor-made journey across the Altiplano called Travesías. These are journeys during you will explore the region in a private vehicle which is driven between countries, staying in designated camps along the way. The drive allows you to access hiking routes along the way in some of the world’s most isolated landscapes, exploring one of the most pristine places on earth: the Bolivian Altiplano, and reaching the Uyuni salt flat and its immaculate peacefulness. Depending on your travel route, this Travesía can be taken from either Chile or Bolivia, covering similar yet not identical itineraries.
Located high among the Bolivian salt flats of Salar de Uyuni, the Kachi Lodge is perhaps the world’s most uniquely located Five Star experience. These luxurious dome tents (more like mobile hotel rooms than anything else) feature gourmet dining courtesy of award-winning La Paz restaurant, Gustu. By night they are a star-strewn observatory. By day you can explore the strange wilderness that is Salar de Uyuni – from abandoned towns to pink-shaded lakes and the flamingos who inhabit them.
Lake Titicaca is one of Bolivia’s best known attractions. The Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca is believed to be the birthplace of the Incas. Home to the islands of Isla del Sol and Isla de la Luna, these contain over one hundred and fifty settlements.
“The Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca is usually regarded as more beautiful than the Peruvian side, with its ever-present backdrop of the snow-capped cordillera real creating stunning views of the lake.”
