Climb to the top of South America for an out-of-this-world Bolivian experience — encounter awe-inspiring geography, cities rich in colonial history, and Indigenous culture. From La Paz, the highest capital city in the world, travel to the crest of the Andes and the middle of nowhere for three days of incredible off-road exploration of the Uyuni Salt Flats and surrounding desert altiplano. Take the road less travelled and meet locals for an immersive cultural experience that few travellers get to know. If you are looking for an authentic experience away from the tourist track, Bolivia is the perfect place for genuine adventure.

Settle in to your G Adventures-supported community salt-brick bungalow, complete with salt floors and furniture, after a guided walking tour up to the sacred Jukil mountaintop for sweeping valley views and a dinner of local ingredients prepared by ladies from the community.

Great group Tour, very good responsible guide, awsome experiences?I felt very safe!
01/02/2024
We had an excellent guide in Romel and were fortunate enough to have a really good group of people. I happened to be traveling solo this time but my wife and travel together and tend to like the independence of making our own travel plans and traveling at our own speed. For those who like group travel, I certainly would recommend this tour as at least a 9.

G Adventures are definitely the more organised of all the tour operators I have used (and I have used a few) - I always quote the App to everyone I recommend G Adventures to as it really makes life so much easier having everything at hand.

The trip was planned for us. We got to see and do things we wouldn't do/be able to do if we booked independently. The tour guide gave a lot of background information about what we were seeing or doing. It was great to travel with fellow teachers.
