Bolivia is one of the most authentic and affordable countries in South America. Between the Uyuni Salt Flat (the largest salt desert in the world), La Paz perched at 3,650 m, Lake Titicaca and the Amazon, it offers extraordinary diversity on a small budget.
The world's largest salt desert (10,573 km²) is Bolivia's crown jewel. In the dry season, its salt hexagons stretch as far as the eye can see; in the rainy season, it becomes a giant mirror reflecting the clouds. Cactus islands such as Isla Incahuasi rise from it as if by magic.
Highlights : Isla Incahuasi, Uyuni Train Cemetery, Laguna Colorada, Sol de Mañana (geysers).
The world's highest administrative capital (3,650 m) is a fascinating city hanging inside an Andean canyon. The Mi Teleférico cable car offers extraordinary views over the basin and the majestic Illimani (6,439 m). The Witches' Market (Mercado de las Brujas) is one of a kind.
