south & central america
Bolivia is a land of contrasting and spectacular landscapes, ranging from the snow-capped peaks surrounding La Paz, the stunning Salar de Uyuni (salt flats); well known for being one of the most evocative sights in South America, to the remote wilderness of the Amazon rainforest.
The shimmering deep blue Lake Titicaca set high in the Andes, straddles the border of Peru and Bolivia, making these two fascinating countries easy to combine. Interestingly, the true capital of Bolivia is still hotly debated, with beautiful Sucre and extraordinary La Paz both being considered capitals; be sure to visit both captivating cities.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT BOLIVIA?
This is the dry winter season when the skies should be clear and sunny in La Paz, Lake Titicaca and Uyuni - take plenty of layers though as temperatures get cold. In the wet summer season of December to March, the Salar de Uyuni can be flooded meaning sightseeing may be altered.

Bolivia Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Michelle Tachon
If you're short on time, the stunning and surreal Salar de Uyuni can be visited on a two day trip from La Paz. Short but sweet this is a great way to fit in this unmissable destination.
Tom Bonavia
Definitely make sure you make time to take a trip to Isla del Sol on Lake Titicaca. The boat ride to get there is absolutely stunning and once you're there you feel like you've been transported back in time.
Elliott Fisher
If you have extra time include the drive from the Uyuni Salt Flats to the Atacama Desert. The scenery is incredible with geysers and beautiful coloured lagoons - the Atacama is a great addition to a trip to Bolivia.
