The Vast and the Curious

The Vast and the Curious is a journey into the layered history and breathtaking landscapes of Bolivia and northwest Argentina,  regions still blissfully removed from mainstream tourism. Blending colonial heritage, indigenous tradition, and extraordinary natural beauty, this route offers a deeper, more intimate understanding of South America.

Your adventure begins in Sucre and Potosí, two of the continent’s most important colonial cities. Here, whitewashed mansions, convents, grand plazas, and 17th-century silver wealth reveal a past of remarkable influence and opulence. Visits to Tarabuco’s indigenous market and the weaving community of Hacienda Candelaria bring Bolivia’s enduring cultural traditions to life.

From these historic highlands, you’ll journey toward the surreal expanse of the Salar de Uyuni – the world’s largest salt flat – before crossing the altiplano through flamingo-filled lagoons, geysers, deserts, and volcanoes in the Eduardo Avaroa Reserve.

Entering Argentina, the landscape softens into fertile valleys, vibrant canyons, and traditional Andean villages. Here you’ll stay in beautifully preserved haciendas, savor regional cuisine, and experience the slower rhythms of rural life. Your journey concludes in Salta, a charming colonial city framed by mountains and known for its rich cultural heritage.

This is South America in its most authentic form, curious, vast, colorful, and deeply rewarding.
