Details

If the word ‘vacation’ conjures images of llama tenderloins, 4WD’s, abandoned train cemeteries, bright red lakes, and the largest salt flat in the world, you would just love Bolivia.

Despite the dryness of the desert, the freezing night temperatures, the fierce desert sun, and oppressor high altitudes, Bolivia is one of the most ethereal, breathtaking places in the world and full of life. 

Begin your journey in La Paz, the highest capital city in the world, infamous for it’s ‘witch markets’. Here you’ll be able to stock up on dried frogs, potions, incantations made from herbs, and talismans used in rituals and for ailments.

Or if you have an inherent fear of witchcraft, hit the more traditional markets for a poncho. 

Explore Moon Valley, which isn’t actually a valley at all, but a maze of canyons and giant spires ranging from beige tones to red and dark purple. It is said that Moon Valley acquired its name after astronaut Neil Armstrong remarked how the landscape resembled that of the moon.

Next arrive to the eerie, desolate city of Uyuni where you’ll feel like you’ve reached the end of the world. And in some way, you have. Uyuni sits on the edge of a wilderness that extends for hundreds of miles, yet despite its barren landscape, it is full of pink flamingos, ancient cacti, rare hummingbirds, foxes, and more oddly placed, mirage like creatures roaming through the salt flats, like llamas!

In Uyuni you will find Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat spanning 4,086 square miles featuring vast, expansive flat ground of glistening white salt. Hop on a 4x4 ATV and begin your 3-day excursion around the flats.

Snap a selfie in front of the peculiar train cemetery where abandoned trains lay to rust and decay. Parts of the trains have been turned into swings and see-saws, so now would be a good time to unleash your inner child.

Enjoy lunch atop Isla Inca Wasi, a hilly and rocky outcrop of land covered in Trichocereus cactus.

Explore Laguna Colorada in the Andean Desert. The lagoon is a brilliant red color resulting from pigments of algae and thin sediment deposits. The flamingos absorb the color through their diets, which is why they are pink!

Take a local bus to Potosi, and if you’re so daring, go on a tour deep within the silver mines and learn of the dangerous working conditions that caused the death of over 8 million slaves.

Roam around Sucre, also known as the white city, earning its name from all the whitewashed colonial buildings. Marvel over glorious views of the city from La Recoleta, serving as a convent, museum and prison, tucked away at the bottom of the Churuquella Mountain. Before you leave, check out Cal Orcko where you’ll find 60 million year old dinosaur footprints! Good luck.
