The Bolivian Highlights Tour with Uyuni Salt Flats includes a visit to one of the greatest wonders of the world, the salt flats of Uyuni. They are the biggest salt lakes in the world (12,000 square kilometers), a truly unforgettable experience especially since the flats reflect the sapphire-blue Altiplano sky. Yampu travelers will also visit the capital city of La Paz, Lake Titicaca, Sucre, Potosí and Santa Cruz—a city of 1.5 million that has taken on increasing social and economic importance in Bolivia in recent decades. Its streets are laid out on a concentric ring model.

Rio de Janeiro is known worldwide for the elaborate parades staged by the city’s major samba schools and beautiful beaches, making the city one of Brazil's major tourist attractions. This Yampu tour will include Rio and other Brazilian destinations full of cultural heritage. We will visit Ouro Preto, Brasilia, and Salvador da Bahia. Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, was built from scratch in only four years, opening in 1960, and is noted for its futuristic architecture. This Yampu trip also includes the amazing Iguazu Falls, a highlight to any Brazilian itinerary.

The Galapagos Islands lie on the Equator, 600 miles west of Ecuador. The isolation of the islands has permitted certain species of animals to evolve—thus Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. We will travel to the Galapagos on a 5-day cruise, observing the wildlife just like Darwin did 170 years ago. Yampu travelers will also visit Quito, Lima, Cuzco, Machu Picchu, Santiago, the Lake District, Bariloche, Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls and Rio de Janeiro.

This trip takes you to the best sites in six South American countries, visiting Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and Brazil. We take you on a train ride to Machu Picchu, a crossing from Peru to Bolivia through Lake Titicaca. You will spend a night in the Island of the Sun, on the shores of the lake, and a day in La Paz. See the tango in Buenos Aires and experience the night life of Brazil’s city on the sea, Rio de Janeiro.
