BOLIVIA

South America’s best-kept secret

Bolivia: best-kept secret of South America, landlocked in the heart of the continent. Visitors may partake of Lake Titicaca, the highest lake in the world; the Amazon jungle; the huge salt flats of Uyuni; or the beautiful colonial cities of Sucre and Potosí. La Paz, the highest capital in the world, has the feeling of an Andean town with some indigenous women still wearing traditional costumes. Bolivia, the “Tibet of the Americas,” has very diverse ecological zones, ranging from the Altiplano to Amazonian rainforests. Our most popular Bolivia tours visit La Paz and Lake Titicaca as well as the Uyuni Salt Flats, one of the greatest wonders of the world.
