\"Best<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ever since I visited Peru I knew Bolivia would be on my travel radar. I mean, the whole country is so stunning and there\u2019s seems to be an endless supply of natural sites, yummy food (I\u2019m naming you,\u00a0Salte\u00f1as\u00a0) and some of the best things to do in Bolivia. It really is a diverse country that\u2019s choc-o-block filled with some amazing experiences for us travellers to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, when planning any trip, especially if you\u2019re short on time, you\u2019ll want to find the very best things to do that are right up your street. After all, no one likes wasting time on a trip! With that in mind, I wanted to share some of my top spots on places you should think about visiting on your trip to Bolivia. You\u2019re going to have the best trip!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.) Visit Salar de Uyuni<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The salt flats are stunning, aren\u2019t they? I mean, this alone is one of the best things to do in Bolivia but can often be pretty difficult to do alone and a guide is often a safe bet when wanting to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This seemingly endless landscape of salt left behind by a dried up prehistoric lake stretches as far as the eye can see (a whopping 11000 sq-km if you want to get totally technical) and is an amazing sight to behold. In fact, I think it\u2019s still the largest salt flat anywhere in the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

To be honest, I always think it\u2019s safest to book a tour to visit\u00a0Salar de Uyuni and join one of the many\u00a0guided treks \u2013 it\u2019s a sight you can\u2019t miss. Lots of the tours start around\u00a0Uyuni but you can easily organise these when you\u2019re in bigger cities like La Paz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.) Head over to\u00a0Laguna Colorada<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, by now you\u2019ll no doubt have realised how full Bolivia is with gorgeous natural sights? And guess what, the Laguna Colorada or the \u201cRed Lake\u201d is no different. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located about 14000 feet above sea level (though, I didn\u2019t count), the first thing you will notice about this shallow salt lake is the pretty cool and totally unique red colour which is caused by the red sediment and algae that calls Laguna Colorada home. Honestly, it\u2019s breathtaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep your eyes peeled for the local flamingoes too. The rare puna or James\u2019 flamingos that you see here are the cherries on the cake. Though, you\u2019re not always guaranteed to see these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only downside is that there is quite a lot of litter on the sides of the roads (most likely from visitors) so if you are planning a visit, make sure to take your trash back with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.) Walk across Isla del Sol<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The best way to experience this island is by staying overnight, but if you\u2019re short on time, you can do a day trip from Copacabana, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually, what happens is that your boat (or guide) will drop you off at one end of the island and pick you up right from the other end. The walk is lovely and will take you most of the day so you should be prepared for a pretty hefty day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, pack responsibly with plenty of water and some much-needed pocket money for the restaurants towards the end. Las Velas is a favourite for sure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.) Go to the Train Cemetery<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it is as bizarre as it sounds but totally unique that you\u2019ll either love or hate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Found on the outskirts of Uyuni, the \u201cGreat Train Graveyard\u201d is a site where many abandoned trains and equipment from the 1940s can be seen completely rusted by salt winds over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of these were imported from Britain and date back to the early 20th century. Visit this spot in the early morning or evening to avoid the crowds \u2013 it gets really busy during the day itself as it\u2019s a popular spot for visitors and photographers.\u00a0 If you are running short on time, this would probably be the spot I\u2019d skip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.) Go up the Mi Teleferico<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Operating at 4000 metres above sea level in La Paz, this is the highest cable car system in the world! It\u2019s a great way to avoid traffic between La Paz and El Alto and it offers a spectacular bird\u2019s eye view of the city. It really is up there with some of the best things to do in Bolivia, that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Best of all, after all that slogging around and hiking, it can be a welcome relief to chill out and watch the incredible vistas all around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve seen the views, make sure to see some of the other spots in La Paz, like; Jaen Street with it\u2019s gorgeous architecture, the Presidential Palace and Tiwanaku (that\u2019s about 30-miles from the city centre).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for a gorgeous hotel to stay at, which are stunning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.) Wander around Museo del Tesoro<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Literally translating to the \u201cTreasure Museum\u201d, this unique museum in Sucre that\u2019s perfect if the weather takes a turn for the worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built in one of the oldest homes in the city, the Museo del Tesoro houses tons of metals and precious stones that can be found in Bolivia. There are special areas dedicated to different fields including mining, jewellery, architecture, and geology and you can even buy top quality jewellery here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a cool spot to visit and one of the best things to do in Bolivia if you want to find a gorgeous gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.) Explore Lake Titicaca<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lake Titicaca is the world\u2019s largest high altitude lake and the largest lake in South America. It is the birthplace of the Inca civilization and is surrounded by traditional villages and ancient ruins that are so amazing to explore and one of the best things to do in Bolivia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can take a boat to nearby villages and learn more about the history and culture of Bolivia or you could take a day trip to Isla del Sol from here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re into archaeology, you can visit the Inca ruins in Copacabana and Tiwanaku which is a massive stone ceremonial site that was built about a 1000 years back. Though, you might wanna give that a miss if you\u2019re not into history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.) See the witch market, La Paz<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Love it or hate it, the Witch Market, located in La Paz, is a point that\u2019s been around for quite some time. Yes, it\u2019s pretty macabre and you might feel uncomfortable at some of the sites like the dried lamas \u2013 it really isn\u2019t for the squeamish so keep this in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve arrived, you\u2019ll notice loads of strange concoctions and items like Owl feathers, dried snakes and random tonics, though lots seem to be catered to for visitors now so expect lots of souvenir spots instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be honest, it\u2019s probably wise not to buy anything you\u2019re not too sure about (and items that support animal cruelty). I can\u2019t say I know too much about how some of these dried animals have been sourced so I always think it\u2019s better to not support it if you\u2019re unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one is not for the faint of heart and a sight that can be a little tough to see due to the dried animals. Apparently, there are more \u2018authentic\u2019 spots to see things like this on the hike to El Alto \u2013 so if that\u2019s your thing, you might wanna head there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.) Experience the rainforest<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While most think of going to the Amazon rainforest from Brazil, it is actually much cheaper and less crowded to go on an Amazonian tour from Bolivia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The starting point is the town of Rurrenabaque and from here you can choose between two options. The pampas tours are the most budget-friendly and give you the opportunity to see the most wildlife. The only thing is that the pampas aren\u2019t deep in the jungle and are on the edge of the Amazon basin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The jungle on the other hand, as the name suggests is a more classic Amazon experience. You may not see as much wildlife but you do get to stay at a fun eco-lodge in the jungle and choose from many interesting activities! It really is one cool experience to have and up there with the best things to do in Bolivia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10.) See the sunset at\u00a0Valle de la Luna<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Valle de la Luna is what remains of a clay and sandstone mountain that was battered over time by strong winds and rains and totally one of the best things to do in Bolivia (especially if you\u2019re into gorgeous landscapes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, it looks like a maze of canyons and stalagmites and it\u2019s really quite unique and bizarre. Apparently, though I\u2019m still not too sure if I should believe them but, apparently, Neil Armstrong gave it its name!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head out on a trek of the valley, explore the area and always go with a trained guide that\u2019s familiar with the climate and geography. No one wants to get lost here. The valley is only about 15-miles, or so, from San Pedro and can easily be reached by car or with a guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re feeling extra adventurous, you can rent a bike to do the route, just be prepared for lots of dusty, hilly and complete gravel tracks that make it quite challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11.)\u00a0Bike across North Yungas Road<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Also called the \u201cDeath Road\u201d, this scary stretch is officially included in many lists of the earth\u2019s most dangerous routes. It connects La Paz to Yungas and is one heck of a drive that will have you sweating through every pore of your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The road first climbs up to 4650 meters at what\u2019s called the La Cumbre Pass and then descends steeply to 1200 meters at Coroico. This steep descent is one of the longest downhill stretches in the world and possibly one of the best things to do in Bolivia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Best<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The road itself is only 3.5 meters wide and has many unpaved sections that are VERY treacherous. While one side of the road is solid rock, the other side is a 600-metre abyss. Honestly, carelessness costs lives on this road, so be extra safe if you do go or choose a reputable company to travel with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Ayush Tours Jaipur","og_description":"Ever since I visited Peru I knew Bolivia would be on my travel radar. I mean, the whole country is so stunning and there\u2019s seems to be an endless supply of natural sites, yummy food (I\u2019m naming you,\u00a0Salte\u00f1as\u00a0) and some of the best things to do in Bolivia. It really is a diverse country that\u2019s choc-o-block filled with some amazing experiences for us travellers to have. Obviously, when planning any trip, especially if you\u2019re short on time, you\u2019ll want to find the very best things to do that are right up your street. After all, no one likes wasting time on a trip! With that in mind, I wanted to share some of my top spots on places you should think about visiting on your trip to Bolivia. You\u2019re going to have the best trip! 1.) Visit Salar de Uyuni The salt flats are stunning, aren\u2019t they? I mean, this alone is one of the best things to do in Bolivia but can often be pretty difficult to do alone and a guide is often a safe bet when wanting to visit. This seemingly endless landscape of salt left behind by a dried up prehistoric lake stretches as far as the eye can see (a whopping 11000 sq-km if you want to get totally technical) and is an amazing sight to behold. In fact, I think it\u2019s still the largest salt flat anywhere in the world! To be honest, I always think it\u2019s safest to book a tour to visit\u00a0Salar de Uyuni and join one of the many\u00a0guided treks \u2013 it\u2019s a sight you can\u2019t miss. Lots of the tours start around\u00a0Uyuni but you can easily organise these when you\u2019re in bigger cities like La Paz. 2.) Head over to\u00a0Laguna Colorada Yeah, by now you\u2019ll no doubt have realised how full Bolivia is with gorgeous natural sights? And guess what, the Laguna Colorada or the \u201cRed Lake\u201d is no different.  Located about 14000 feet above sea level (though, I didn\u2019t count), the first thing you will notice about this shallow salt lake is the pretty cool and totally unique red colour which is caused by the red sediment and algae that calls Laguna Colorada home. Honestly, it\u2019s breathtaking. Keep your eyes peeled for the local flamingoes too. The rare puna or James\u2019 flamingos that you see here are the cherries on the cake. Though, you\u2019re not always guaranteed to see these. The only downside is that there is quite a lot of litter on the sides of the roads (most likely from visitors) so if you are planning a visit, make sure to take your trash back with you. 3.) Walk across Isla del Sol The best way to experience this island is by staying overnight, but if you\u2019re short on time, you can do a day trip from Copacabana, too. Usually, what happens is that your boat (or guide) will drop you off at one end of the island and pick you up right from the other end. The walk is lovely and will take you most of the day so you should be prepared for a pretty hefty day. Obviously, pack responsibly with plenty of water and some much-needed pocket money for the restaurants towards the end. Las Velas is a favourite for sure! 4.) Go to the Train Cemetery Yes, it is as bizarre as it sounds but totally unique that you\u2019ll either love or hate. Found on the outskirts of Uyuni, the \u201cGreat Train Graveyard\u201d is a site where many abandoned trains and equipment from the 1940s can be seen completely rusted by salt winds over the years. Most of these were imported from Britain and date back to the early 20th century. Visit this spot in the early morning or evening to avoid the crowds \u2013 it gets really busy during the day itself as it\u2019s a popular spot for visitors and photographers.\u00a0 If you are running short on time, this would probably be the spot I\u2019d skip. 5.) Go up the Mi Teleferico Operating at 4000 metres above sea level in La Paz, this is the highest cable car system in the world! It\u2019s a great way to avoid traffic between La Paz and El Alto and it offers a spectacular bird\u2019s eye view of the city. It really is up there with some of the best things to do in Bolivia, that\u2019s for sure. Best of all, after all that slogging around and hiking, it can be a welcome relief to chill out and watch the incredible vistas all around you. Once you\u2019ve seen the views, make sure to see some of the other spots in La Paz, like; Jaen Street with it\u2019s gorgeous architecture, the Presidential Palace and Tiwanaku (that\u2019s about 30-miles from the city centre). If you\u2019re looking for a gorgeous hotel to stay at, which are stunning! 6.) Wander around Museo del Tesoro Literally translating to the \u201cTreasure Museum\u201d, this unique museum in Sucre that\u2019s perfect if the weather takes a turn for the worse. Built in one of the oldest homes in the city, the Museo del Tesoro houses tons of metals and precious stones that can be found in Bolivia. There are special areas dedicated to different fields including mining, jewellery, architecture, and geology and you can even buy top quality jewellery here. It\u2019s a cool spot to visit and one of the best things to do in Bolivia if you want to find a gorgeous gift. 7.) Explore Lake Titicaca Lake Titicaca is the world\u2019s largest high altitude lake and the largest lake in South America. It is the birthplace of the Inca civilization and is surrounded by traditional villages and ancient ruins that are so amazing to explore and one of the best things to do in Bolivia. You can take a boat to nearby villages and learn more about the history and culture of Bolivia or you could take a day trip to Isla del Sol from here. If you\u2019re into archaeology, you can visit the Inca ruins […]","og_url":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/01\/27\/best-things-to-do-in-bolivia\/","og_site_name":"Ayush Tours Jaipur","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Ayush-Tours-Jaipur-670592113397684\/","article_published_time":"2020-01-27T09:45:32+00:00","article_modified_time":"2021-02-02T05:47:56+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1500,"height":1000,"url":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Bolivia.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"admin","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"admin","Est. reading time":"9 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/01\/27\/best-things-to-do-in-bolivia\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/01\/27\/best-things-to-do-in-bolivia\/"},"author":{"name":"admin","@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/#\/schema\/person\/a6ab0ac12d776e4d6e5c71601e85a5b4"},"headline":"Best Things To Do In Bolivia","datePublished":"2020-01-27T09:45:32+00:00","dateModified":"2021-02-02T05:47:56+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/01\/27\/best-things-to-do-in-bolivia\/"},"wordCount":1752,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/#organization"},"articleSection":["Blog"],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/01\/27\/best-things-to-do-in-bolivia\/","url":"https:\/\/ayushtoursjaipur.com\/index.php\/2020\/01\/27\/best-things-to-do-in-bolivia\/","name":"Best Things To Do In Bolivia -
