Overview

This breathtaking Bolivian adventure explores the unique and bizarre landscapes of western Bolivia, from Lake Titicaca all the way to the the vast white salt flats of the Salar de Uyuni; one of the highest and driest environments on earth. We'll spend a couple of days on and around Latin America's greatest and most famous lake, Titicaca, before flying south to Sucre and the silver-mining town of Potosi. After an excellent acclimatisation hike in the Cordillera Kari Kari, we travel on to Uyuni, with its atmospheric ‘train graveyard'. Crossing the edge of the salt flats to reach the foot of Volcan Tunupa, where we hike to the crater of this unusual multi-coloured mountain. Continuing our journey to the Sajama National Park, we see rustic churches, giant cacti, grazing vicunas, flocks of flamingoes and many other unusual Andean birds on a number of remote lagoons.


Then, from Sajama Village,we hike up to the Condoriri Craters, site of two high altitude lagoons and more stunning and unique environements. Before descending down to the hot springs for a chance to relax towards the end of our travels. Finally, we return to La Paz where we explore this fascinating city as way of rounding off this action packed 2 week holiday.

This is principally a journey of exploration of Salar de Uyuni and the Sajama National Park; we'll enjoy some fantastic trekking along the way. We've allowed some time to acclimatise to the high altitudes in La Paz and on Lake Titicaca, before we travel south to the amazing Salar de Uyuni via the towns of Sucre and Potosi. An acclimatisation hike in the Cordillera Kari Kari sets us up for our journey across the salt flats, ahead of our longer trekking days to Tunupa Crater (4250m) and the Condoriri Craters (5000m). Although none of these days are overly long, and can be backed out of, these days will be quite demanding because of thier altitudes (above 4000m). Because of the vastness of the landscape there will inevitably be some longish days of driving during the holiday.

 

Why KE?

Our Salt Flats and Volcanoes of Bolivia walking holiday is the trip for those looking to explore and discover the incredible geography and culture of this enigmatic, landlocked country.
