Home to the surreal Uyuni Salt Flats, ancient Incan heritage, and some of the highest peaks in the Andes, Bolivia is one of South America's most dramatic and culturally rich destinations.
July and August are when Bolivia attracts the most tourists, which is in the middle of their dry season, which runs May to September. The wetter season is generally from December to March, and Bolivia hold some of the best festivals in the period so a great time to visit.
Looking for a more adventures holiday experience, why not try the trekking in Cordillera Real. Take one of the many trekking routes, from the Andes into the Amazon, and through the amazing wilderness of the Cordillera Real. Every step along the way will be worth it, from the waterfalls, catching up with the locals, and experiencing unique cultures and lifestyles on the way.
Bolivia has a wide range of wildlife to see, you can visit the caves and see the bats. Listen out for the cackling call and response of a dozen different macaw species including the world’s rarest, the bluebeard, which can only be found in Bolivia. Deep in the forest live jaguars, pumas and bears.
Bolivia has some great food to offer, a llama tenderloin is a popular request, maybe something new to try! Bolivia’s food is as diverse as its people and you’ll find new delicacies to sample in every town.
The capital La Paz is cool all year round, and it has a lot to offer. From La Paz you can visit the deep freshwater lake in the Andes on the Peru-Bolivia border called Lake Titicaca.
If you fancy a 3-4 day jeep tour of the world’s largest salt flat, Salar de Uyuni is the place for you. It will be cold, but worth the visit for the opportunity to explore one of the coolest places on earth.
Parque Nacional Madidi is a must for a great experience with a huge range of wildlife. Explore the rainforest with guided walks and boat trips on the river, viewing and listening to the beauty it has to offer deep in the rainforests.
In the ancient time, the Cordillera Real mountain range was adored by the local Aymara civilisation, but was not climbed as they are covered with glaciers.
Nowadays, it is one of the prime destination for climbers from all over the world, and for good reason: altitude, alpine climbing, accessible routes and rather good weather conditions throughout the year (apart from January to March when it may snow heavily).
South America's largest freshwater lake, Titicaca is also one of the highest in the world. Thought to be three million years old, it is 3,810 metres above sea level and sits between Peru and Bolivia.
Lake Titicaca is home to 41 islands, some of which are densely populated. Isla del Sol is the largest island, and it takes its name from the Temple of the Sun, the site where Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo, founders of the Inca dynasty, were sent to earth by the sun god.
Located in the north-east of Bolivia, this national park is one of the most biologically diverse in the world: it is home to 272 species of mammals, 213 species of amphibians, 204 species of reptiles, 496 species of fish, and 1,254 species of birds. On top of this, there are over 120,000 species of insects and 20,000 species of plant life.
Some of the sightings include jaguars, cougars, capybaras, giant river otters, pink river dolphins, macaws and many more!
Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat at over 10,000 km2 in area, its breathtaking landscapes have been used as filming locations for Star Wars: The Last Jedi and several others.
During the wet season between December and April, the rain creates a vast mirror effect, whereas in the dry season between May and November, you can see the stunning crystallised salt patterns.
