The ‘Salar de Uyuni’ is the largest salt flat in the world, expanding over 4,000 square miles (6,400km). Located on the Bolivian Altiplano at almost 12,000ft (3,650m), it’s about as impressive as it gets. If you visit during the dry season, you’ll get further and see more, but during the wet season the heavy rains falling on the salt plains create an incredible mirror effect – a dream for photographers. The salt flats, however, are not just about salt. You can see incredible rock formations, canyons, volcanoes and hot springs, as well as swim in salt lakes and colourful lagoons! There are also some great accommodation options – you can either stay in a hotel made almost entirely from salt, or you can stay in a new luxury airstream campervan, which is a really unique experience with private chefs and guides, outdoor and indoor dining and cocktails, tailor-made activities on offer and the best possible stargazing opportunities!

The Airstream Campers are by far the most unique and exclusive way to explore the breathtaking scenery of the Uyuni Salt Flats.
The eastern part of Bolivia is less visited on the whole, but is home to some beautiful areas and is full of national parks and nature reserves. Santa Cruz is low-lying, warmer, more tropical and richer, and has a noticeably different feel to the Altiplano highlands of western Bolivia.
Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world, located at 12,507ft (3,812m) and straddles the border of Peru and Bolivia, who are constantly disputing who has the more beautiful side of the lake! The Bolivian side benefits from having the mountains in the background, which is truly a beautiful sight. From Peru, discover floating islands made entirely from totora reeds where small communities dressed in brightly patterned clothing go about their daily lives.
La Paz is Bolivia’s administrative capital city (while Sucre remains its constitutional capital), and at around 11,893ft (3,635m) it’s the highest administrative capital city in the world. When you fly into La Paz airport, you’re actually arriving into the adjacent city of El Alto, which is located another 500m or so higher, so you will most definitely feel the altitude when you arrive.
