From Forest to Altiplano: A Journey Through Bolivia
Discover Bolivia through its contrasting landscapes, historic cities and enduring traditions over 12 days, from the cloud forests around Santa Cruz to the high-altitude world of the Altiplano. Start with El Fuerte at Samaipata and explore Amboró National Park, where dense forest shelters hummingbirds, orchids and bromeliads. In Sucre and Potosí, delve into Bolivia’s colonial history through museums, markets and the legacy of silver mining. The scenery shifts dramatically at Uyuni, where two nights in a camp on the salt flats bring days of exploration and evenings beneath the stars. Finish in La Paz and around Lake Titicaca, with time to discover Tiwanaku, Moon Island and Sun Island.
