Tour Overview
Bolivia is one of the poorest countries in South America but the landscapes are so impressive and the people are so friendly that you won´t forget your experience. This country is home of the Titicaca Lake and the great and not to be missed Uyuni salt flat, along with an ancient culture and language plus traces of mysterious pre Columbian civilizations. Wether you head up north to Peru or South to Chile and Argentina, La Paz in its altitude is a great place to begin your adventures!
