5 Weeks Bolivia Tours & Trips.

La Paz (5)

La Paz ("The Peace") at an altitude of 4071m is the highest capital city in the world. If you fly in here from a low country, you will need to adjust first. La Paz is home of many indigenous people of which the men have long hair and the women wear large, round skirts and a hat. Interesting also are the markets that offer lama fetuses for religious ceremonies.

Potosi (4)

Potosi has a long history of mining. The silver mountain has been exploited for many years and even - non claustrophobic - tourists can go in here. Well worth mentioning are the colonial buildings and the cold...

Salar de Uyuni (4)

Uyuni is the gateway for tourists visiting the world's largest salt flats, the nearby Uyuni salt flat (10,000 km2). This is one of the main attractions of Bolivia.

Sucre (4)

Sucre is a beautiful, very pleasant city with nice white buildings in the eastern part of the country. It is the 2nd official capital of Bolivia. Even though you may feel right at home here, you should still be careful with ice creams.

Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz de la Sierra is Bolivia's commercial center. It stands at an altitude of only 400m in the Amazon bassin, east of the Andes.
