About This Tour

A week through La Paz and the Bolivian Altiplano's high desert, colored lagoons and the Salar de Uyuni salt flats — a route that runs right up to the Chilean border without actually crossing it. This itinerary is entirely within Bolivia — La Paz, the Bolivian Altiplano and the Salar de Uyuni salt flats — and does not include any night actually spent in Chile, despite appearing among Chile trip ideas on the source listing (day 5 does pass flamingo lagoons along the Chilean border without crossing it).

A valid passport is required; some nationalities also need a Bolivian visa — check requirements for your passport before booking.
