BOLIVIA’S MUST-SEES
Uyuni Salt Flats
Located in south-western Bolivia, Salar de Uyuni resembles an infinite white plain. During the rainy season, the site becomes a “mirror”, as the flooded salt flats reflect the sky. Such majestic scenery offers visitors the opportunity to take part in one of the most breathtaking natural events in the world: walking “on the clouds.” Taking up an area of over 10,000 km², the Salar is also one of the world’s largest lithium reserves, in addition to containing large amounts of potassium, boron and magnesium.
BOLIVIA’S MUST-SEES
The Stone Tree
Proclaimed a “natural monument”, the Stone Tree (in Spanish, Árbol de Piedra) is a 5-meter high rock formation located in the Siloli Desert, at the entrance to the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve. Its shape is the result of strong wind erosion, which caused the sandstone to acquire a striking contour that sets it apart from every other set of volcanic rocks. Great opportunities for an excellent photo souvenir!

The Colored Lagoons

Morning Sun Geysers
Sol de Mañana is a desert area covering around 2 km² in length, situated at an altitude of 4,850 meters above sea level. It’s known for its intense volcanic activity, which affords views such as huge craters of boiling mud and impressive steam plumes fired by the pressure of the earth, at an unfathomable distance. Definitely a breathtaking scene.

Siloli Desert
The Siloli stands out for its unique rock formations, which are the result of the strong winds in the region. It’s known as one of the driest deserts in the world, and provides visitors with an amusing set of shapes and views. Also, the Siloli is considered to be part of the Atacama Desert in neighboring Chile. All you need to enjoy this tour are your hungry eyes, lots of imagination, and a camera.

Eduardo Avaroa Reserve
Hidden among the heights of the Andes Mountains is the most visited protected area in Bolivia.

BOLIVIA’S MUST-SEES
Salvador Dalí Desert
On the southern area of the Chalviri salt flats, within the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve, and at an average height of 4,750 meters above sea level, lies Salvador Dalí Desert, covering an area of roughly 110 km². Its name is due to its landscapes, which resemble those depicted by the Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dalí
BOLIVIA’S MUST-SEES
Sucre
This is the city that gave birth to the Republic, as the Declaration of Independence was signed here. Even though nowadays La Paz is known as the capital of Bolivia, the founding story of the country was written in Sucre. Some sights worth seeing are the town’s colonial landscapes, which are of incalculable architectural value; various historical monuments and temples; a giant bed of dinosaur tracks; and a stunning textile market.
BOLIVIA’S MUST-SEES
Potosí
With an architecture that reveals the town’s living history, Villa Imperial de Potosí still retains vestiges of what was once one of the world’s most populated cities during a significant part of the 16th century. Here you’ll learn where and how the first global coin was made; explore the history of Potosí’s “rich hill” full of silver; and admire its beautiful streets, houses, squares, monasteries, and churches. You can also enter a huge mine and see how it’s operated nowadays.
What globetrotters say
As you probably know, Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni is absolutely stunning and has unique, captivating landscapes. This is undoubtedly one of the best natural tourist destinations in the world.
We stayed in a triple room before our trip to the salt flats. The room and breakfast were pretty good, but what really struck me was the service.
A real find. Very friendly staff (the friendliest I’ve come across in 7 months of travel), comfortable guest rooms—what else could you need?
