Bolivia is a country of extremes, vast white deserts, sapphire lakes, technicolor canyons, and high-altitude cities alive with Andean culture. This journey brings together the country’s most iconic landscapes and archaeological treasures, paired with immersive experiences that reveal the heart of this remarkable landlocked nation.

Begin in La Paz, a city that rises and falls with the contours of a colossal canyon, where Indigenous traditions, colonial heritage, and modern creativity coexist. Ride the cable-car system that soars above the city, wander the kaleidoscopic Witches’ Market, explore world-class museums, and savor Bolivia’s pioneering culinary scene.

Continue to Lake Titicaca, a place of myth and staggering natural beauty. You’ll cruise shimmering waters to reach Sun Island, birthplace of the Inca, where ancient temples cling to terraced hillsides and village life flows at its own unhurried rhythm. From here, return to La Paz for a taste of Bolivia’s acclaimed gastronomy before flying south toward the surreal landscapes of the Uyuni Salt Flats.

Salar de Uyuni is Bolivia at its most otherworldly: an endless white expanse, studded with cactus islands and punctuated by volcanic silhouettes. Explore by 4×4, enjoy picnics in the middle of the desert, visit remote villages, and, in the right season, witness the salt flats transform into a giant mirror reflecting the sky. End your journey under a canopy of stars, one of the clearest night skies on Earth, before returning to La Paz for your onward flight.

This is Bolivia distilled, raw beauty, ancient stories, and extraordinary contrasts, curated for travelers who seek singular landscapes and meaningful encounters.

Highlights

  • Marvel at the vast, otherworldly Uyuni Salt Flats — one of the planet’s most extraordinary natural wonders.
  • Cruise Lake Titicaca and explore Sun Island, the mythical birthplace of the Inca civilization.
  • Glide above La Paz on its sweeping cable-car network for unmatched views of the high-altitude capital.
  • Discover Bolivia’s rich cultural heritage at the Witches’ Market, top museums, and contemporary galleries.
  • Walk among ancient temples on Sun and Moon Islands, tracing pre-Inca and Inca history across terraced landscapes.
  • Visit the Royal Tombs Museum in Chiclayo, home to one of the most significant burial discoveries in the Americas.
