Bolivia Discovery
Experience Overview
Climb to the top of South America for an out-of-this-world Bolivian experience — encounter awe-inspiring geography, cities rich in colonial history, and Indigenous culture. From La Paz, the highest capital city in the world, travel to the crest of the Andes and the middle of nowhere for three days of incredible off-road exploration of the Uyuni Salt Flats and surrounding desert altiplano. Take the road less travelled and meet locals for an immersive cultural experience that few travellers get to know. If you are looking for an authentic experience away from the tourist track, Bolivia is the perfect place for genuine adventure.

Itinerary
Day 1: La Paz
Arrive at any time.
There are no planned activities until the evening welcome meeting.
Day 2: La Paz/Sucre
Hop on a flight to Sucre. Arrive to the Constitutional Capital of Bolivia and explore the city along with your CEO.
Day 3: Sucre
Enjoy free time to explore all that Sucre has to offer.
Day 4: Sucre
Enjoy another free day in Sucre, a South American city filled with food, beautiful architecture, museums, and outdoor adventure activities that make it a must-see destination for any Bolivian adventure. Opt to visit one of the world's largest collections of dinosaur footprints from some 68 million years ago. Or maybe stroll through the Tarabuco market to catch a glimpse of daily Bolivian life. Feeling adventurous? Embark on a hike through the scenic area or maybe book a mountain biking experience. If you're hungry, grab a salteña, which is a juicy, sweet-doughed, empanada-like snack.
Day 5: Sucre/Potosí
Journey from Sucre to Potosí. Spend the afternoon exploring the city.
Day 6: Potosí/Uyuni
Head south to Uyuni, the starting point for the salt flats excursion.
Day 7: Uyuni/Salt Flats
Enjoy a 3-day 4x4 excursion to the Salar de Uyuni and surrounding desert altiplano, with spectacular scenery.
Travel through the Bolivian landscape to the town of Uyuni. Despite its isolation and challenging climate (cold and blustery most of the year), the town of Uyuni has earned the nickname of Hija Predilecta de Bolivia (Bolivia's Favourite Daughter).
It is also the starting point for our 2-night excursion through the spectacular Salar de Uyuni (Uyuni Salt Flats) in 4x4 vehicles.
Settle in to your G Adventures-supported community salt-brick bungalow, complete with salt floors and furniture, after a guided walking tour up to the sacred Jukil mountaintop for sweeping valley views and a dinner of local ingredients prepared by ladies from the community.
Day 8: Salt Flats
Continue to discover the Salar de Uyuni on a 4x4 excursion. Last stop for the evening is a G Adventures-supported community lodge in a traditional agricultural village in the heart of a desert oasis.
Day 9: Salt Flats/La Paz
Enjoy a final day of exploring the Salar de Uyuni before boarding an overnight bus back to La Paz .
Day 10: La Paz
Enjoy a free day in the capital, walk along the winding streets, shop in the markets and enjoy the nightlife. For the thrill seekers opt to bike the famous "death road".
Spend the day exploring and shopping in the many markets of the city -- it is an especially good place to buy textiles and leatherwork. Visit the Witches' Market or take one of the several optional excursions available.
Day 11: La Paz
Depart at any time.

We had an excellent guide in Romel and were fortunate enough to have a really good group of people. I happened to be traveling solo this time but my wife and travel together and tend to like the independence of making our own travel plans and traveling at our own speed. For those who like group travel, I certainly would recommend this tour as at least a 9.

G Adventures are definitely the more organised of all the tour operators I have used (and I have used a few) - I always quote the App to everyone I recommend G Adventures to as it really makes life so much easier having everything at hand.

The trip was planned for us. We got to see and do things we wouldn't do/be able to do if we booked independently. The tour guide gave a lot of background information about what we were seeing or doing. It was great to travel with fellow teachers.
