Bolivia

Bolivia is a landlocked country with a fascinating history, boasting the world’s highest navigable lake, Lake Titicaca and the highest capital La Paz.

It has a largely indigenous population that has preserved its native languages and much of its traditional way of life. Bolivia is an exciting destination due to its rich cultural heritage, enchanting colonial towns, bustling markets, spectacular Amazonian and Andean landscapes.

Scott Dunn’s highlights for Bolivia:

  • One of the most unique landscapes in the world, the Uyuni salt flats cannot be missed. Take a four-wheel drive and arrive early in the morning to watch the sunrise over this awe-inspiring place.
  • When visiting Lake Titicaca, be sure to visit the traditional Aymarán villages along the lakeshores, and the communities on the lakes islands such as Isla de la Luna.
  • Discover Sucre, one of Bolivia’s most beautiful cities, encased by low mountains. Enjoy the fabulous architecture and whitewash buildings here.
