La Paz

Bolivia, located in the heart of South America, is a breathtakingly beautiful and culturally rich, landlocked country, known for its diverse landscapes and strong indigenous culture. The country offers everything from the towering peaks of the Cordillera Real, which cater to hikers and climbers, to the mirrored expanses of the Salar de Uyuni salt flats, the world's largest, and the wildlife-rich Bolivian Amazon Rainforest. Its administrative capital, La Paz, boasts attractions like the famous Witches' Market and the Moon Valley, while the constitutional capital, Sucre, is famous for its well-preserved colonial architecture. With a layered history encompassing the Inca Empire, Spanish colonialism, and modern indigenous cultures, Bolivia offers travelers a unique blend of scenery, history, culture, and adventure.

Bolivia

Uyuni, located in the southwestern part of Bolivia, is known worldwide as the gateway to the largest salt flats on Earth, the Salar de Uyuni. Encompassing over 11,000 square kilometers, this natural wonder dazzles visitors with its otherworldly expanse of white salt, unique rock formations, and islands teeming with towering cacti. The region also boasts surreal coloured lagoons, home to numerous species of flamingos, dusty desert plains, and volcanic hot springs. As part of your journey, you can visit an antique train cemetery or witness the mesmerizing mirror effect produced by the shallow saltwater lakes after rain, creating a dreamlike illusion of the sky merging with the Earth.

Uyuni

I was there recently. It's such a beautiful place, really magical. I fell in love with all the landscapes I saw there, as well as the desert in Bolivia. I'm immensely grateful to my group and the driver/guide we had, he knows the route, the road, exactly how to navigate through the salt flat. This place is amazing and full of peace.
