London – Lima – La Paz
Your journey starts with a flight from London to La Paz (via Lima), Bolivia’s colourful capital city enclosed by the Cordillera Real mountain range. You’ll be staying in a colonial-style hotel just a stroll away from San Francisco Square. Enjoy a tour of the city taking in the Gold Museum, San Francisco Church, Murillo Square and the Witch Doctor’s Market where you’ll find an interesting array of artefacts, handicrafts and woven textiles.

You’ll be staying at a charming eco lodge at the top of the island where you’ll be surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Andes.

Salar de Uyuni
Your adventure in Bolivia now brings you to the incredible Salar de Uyuni, which holds the title for the world’s largest salt flat at a staggering 11,000 square kilometres. This surreal, vast expanse with its blue skies, 12-metre-high cacti and deep lagoons is sure to capture your imagination. Your hotel – built almost entirely from salt – is nearly as impressive.
Over the next two days you will have plenty of opportunity to explore this unique wilderness. You’ll first visit the fascinating Isla Pescado. Situated in the centre of the salt pan, this rocky outcrop is studded with giant cacti and offers a fabulous view of the surrounding salt flats. The following day you will visit the small village of Tahua, situated at the foot of the Tunupa Volcano, and hike to the cave of the Coquesa Mummies.
Stay: Two nights in a double room at the Luna Salada Salt Hotel – half board
