Overview

Bolivia: La Paz Tour - Sun Island - Uyuni Salt Flats - Huayna Potosi Climb - La Paz.
Bolivia - The Tibet of South America: Bolivia is a land of breathtaking contrasts and ancient wonders. Here lies the world’s largest salt flat, the Salar de Uyuni, stretching across the Andes at an altitude of 3,650 metres. Bolivia is also home to Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, renowned for its unique flora, fauna, and cultural heritage. Known for its deep-rooted traditions and numerous monuments of lost civilisations, Bolivia is the most indigenous country in South America and the continent’s vibrant heart of ancient culture.
The highlight of this journey is the ascent of Huayna Potosí (6,088 m), a classic high-altitude climb accessible even to those without prior mountaineering experience. For those seeking an extra adventure, there’s an optional 4-day extension to summit Sajama (6,542 m), Bolivia’s highest peak.
