Bolivia Holidays and Tours

Discover one of South America’s lesser-known names on one of our fantastic Bolivia holidays. Travellers to this land-locked country enjoy life-affirming moments on tours that sweep from the wildlife-rich Amazon to glistening Andes mountains to shimmering salt flats.

Bolivia is home to just 11 million people. It is perfect for those who want to get off-the-beaten-path and discover an incredible variety of scenery, indigenous cultures and adventure. The cities are vibrant with everything from witches’ markets to cable cars and fine food.

More on Bolivia tours and holidays

Bolivia is blessed with some of South America’s most beautiful and least visited mountain ranges. Hiking in Sajama you could be spotting condors from a thermal hot pool after a day’s spectacular walk. Many folk climb Huayna Potosi – our professional guides can help you bag a 6,000m Andean peak. Wherever you trek in the Cordillera Real, you can pretty much guarantee peace and tranquillity with just you and some locals around.

Among Bolivia’s most famous attractions are 4×4 tours to the Uyuni Salt Flats. In the dry season these high-altitude salt pans dry out to reveal an unforgettable blanket that covers the land. In the rainy season, the flats become an enormous mirror to the skies. Dali-esque rock sculptures, twinkling night skies and multi-coloured lakes await visitors to this arid and harsh land. It’s not empty, though – flamingos, viscachas and more animals call the salar home.

Cities of Bolivia

La Paz is often called the highest capital city in the world, although Sucre is officially Bolivia’s capital. La Paz is the seat of government, but what’s to worry about in this bustling, Andean city. On clear days, it is framed by the beautiful Huayna Potosi mountain, seen ever more clearly if you take the cable car to its highest point. Witch markets, moon-like valleys and energetic people are just part of La Paz’s story.

Sucre, the capital, is a UNESCO-listed site thanks to its beautifully maintained white, colonial architecture and plethora of museums. It’s here Bolivia sealed its independence and the Casa de la Libertad is a must-do. The famous mines at Potosi are a few hours down the road, a town with a very important part in Bolivia’s history, present and future.

Remote Bolivia holidays

Near Cochabamba you find Torotoro. The national park is criss-crossed with dinosaur footprints and beautiful lava-formed crescented hills and beautiful waterfalls. Among these patterned paradises, live several remote communities, speaking one of Bolivia’s 36 official languages.

In the verdant Amazon to the east, our guides can help you look for monkeys in Madidi National Park. Pink dolphins may be spotted in the wider rivers of the pampas, as well as caiman, macaws and much more.

Bolivia holidays are not complete without a visit to Lake Titicaca and the shoreside town of Copacabana. From here, visit the Island of the Moon and the Island of the Sun, the supposed birthplace of the Inca civilisation.

Because Bolivia remains a little off most traveller’s radars, you’ll be guaranteed a warm welcome, wherever you visit.
