Bolivia
Landscape, culture, festivals, markets
Intriguing, welcoming and still very unspoiled – its way of life in many areas little changed for centuries and its remnants of ancient civilisations asking as many questions as they answer – Bolivia is a wonderful destination for more adventurous travellers.
From its high plateau and the remotely beautiful Lake Titicaca, to its peaceful savannah wetlands, great swathes of steaming jungle, and the blinding-white salt lakes, crimson deserts and volcanoes of the south-west, this a truly bizarre and spectacular country.
Its capital, La Paz, crammed with colourful street markets, ringed by soaring peaks and set at an altitude of 3650 metres will literally take your breath away. We think that, for less adventurous travellers, Bolivia’s poor infrastructure and isolation mean that it often works best to combine a visit there with some time in either Peru or Chile
Best visited: April to December
All our itineraries are individually designed. We do not cover Bolivia as an individual destination, but a few days here work well as an addition to Northern Chile or Peru.
