When to Visit Bolivia
May – October is high season, and an excellent time to visit Bolivia. Sunny days and minimal rainfall make for excellent conditions for outdoor-bound Bolivia tours!
November – April brings the rainy season. Avoid the lowlands, which suffer the brunt of the bad weather, but take advantage of the rain by taking a luxury Bolivia tour to Salar de Uyuni. Rainy season is the only time of year that you can witness the ethereal “mirror effect”, when the land and the sky seem to blend into one!

La Paz
Cityscape of La Paz in Bolivia
The world’s highest capital city will leave you breathless in more ways than one! Visit Bolivia ‘s mountain-top metropolis, where sharp-suited businessmen brush shoulders with Cholita women wearing traditional bowler hats and long braids. Take a cable car to the top of El Alto, the city’s highest point, and observe how the architecture changes as you climb further up the mountain. Browse for spells and have your fortune told in the infamous Mercado de Brujas (witch market). For the brave, our tailor made holidays in Bolivia can include a vertiginous mountain bike ride down the infamous Death Road! Finally, history buffs will love the awesome pre-Inca site of Tiahuanaco, located just over an hour from La Paz. Take a look to our La Paz tours.
Uyuni Salt Flat – Salar de Uyuni
The unique landscape of the legendary Salar de Uyuni will make you question whether the salt flats are truly of this Earth. In the dry season (May – October), the dazzling whiteness as far as the eye can see offers ample opportunities to get creative with perspective to take unique and surreal photographs. In contrast, the rainy season (November – April) creates the ethereal “mirror effect”, where the sea and sky seem to become one. Our custom Bolivia travel packages can include one, two or three days in the salt flats!

Santa Cruz
During your Visit Bolivia , you should do not forget to visito one of the fastest-growing cities in the world, Santa Cruz is sometimes referred to as Bolivia’s “other capital”. Santa Cruz boasts its own unique culture, perhaps due to its low altitude and tropical climate, so different to other Bolivian cities. Santa Cruz is also Bolivia’s most modern city, boasting smart shopping malls and carefully landscaped parks. It’s therefore a great place to start your Bolivia luxury tour, in order to ease yourself into the Bolivian way of life!
Potosi
One of the many depictions of Tio Pachamama in the mines of Cerro Rico, Potosi, Bolivia. Miners pay their respect to Tio Pachamama every time they go down into the mines.
Charming Potosi is the highest city in the world! It was also once the height of the economy of the Spanish Empire, after the conquistadores discovered the rich silver deposits in Cerro Rico mountain. Although most of the silver has long since gone, the mines remain in operation and most Bolivia travel packages will include a visit to this fascinating site of living history. The architecture of the city shines as brightly as its precious metals; the colonial architecture is so exquisite that the entire city was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987!
