Here are the top things to do on a Bolivia holiday, as chosen by our South America specialists.
Spend the night at the salt flats
Stay overnight on the Salar de Uyuni, and appreciate the incredible scenery of the world's largest salt flats. Stay on the edge of the flats in a hotel constructed entirely from salt, or stay in an exclusive airstream camper on the salt flats themselves – accompanied by your own driver and chef.
Marvel at the Valley of the Moon
Nearby to the capital of La Paz is the desert landscape of the Valley of the Moon, with bizarre sandstone formations shaped by the wind.
Stay on Lake Titicaca
Have an unforgettable night staying on Sun Island (Isla del Sol) on Lake Titicaca, the world's highest navigable lake.
Discover the Bolivian Amazon
Madidi National Park lies in the Amazon basin of northern Bolivia. This biodiversity hotspot covers almost 2 million hectares of largely untouched forest with countless endemic types of fauna and flora, including more than 1,000 bird species. Take guided jungle walks or canoe trips to learn about the rainforest and search for wildlife such as monkeys, tapirs, giant otters and jaguars.
Visit Jesuit missions
North-east of Santa Cruz lies former Jesuit mission towns, and visiting is worthwhile for anyone interested in history or architecture. In towns such as San Javier and Concepción, see beautifully restored churches that highlight the synthesis of Jesuit and indigenous culture.
