Bolivia travel with children is both audacious and feasible. A gentle adjustment to the altitude, seasonal destination selection, and the division of lengthy journeys into smaller segments are crucial. Winter in the desert (July-August) can be particularly adverse. The Pampas' abundant fauna is as close as one can get to a natural zoo, while the cities and markets are particularly captivating for young children. Moreover, of course, everyone adores a llama. Be it on dolphin-populated Amazon tributaries or Lake Titicaca, boat excursions continue to be a perennial favorite. Younger children may exhibit a preference for the temperate climate and roomier lodges in the lowlands, as well as for more mild activities.
Where to Go with Kids
Uyuni Salt Flats
One of the most popular destinations for families is Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flats. Here, kids can explore this unique environment, complete with salt-encrusted rocks, islands of cacti, and shallow lakes in the dry season.
Sucre
Sucre, the capital of Bolivia, is another great destination for families. Here, you can wander through the city’s old cobblestone streets and explore old colonial buildings. With its vibrant culture, delicious cuisine and lively street markets, Sucre is full of life and adventure and sure to be a hit with the kids.
Madidi National Park
For a unique wildlife experience, head to the Madidi National Park. This Amazonian paradise is home to a wide variety of species, including many rare and endangered animals such as jaguars, pumas, and spectacled bears. With its lush forest and breathtaking views, Madidi National Park offers an unforgettable experience.
Lake Titicaca and Copacabana
For a more relaxed family experience, check out Lake Titicaca. As the world’s highest navigable lake, it offers stunning views, as well as a chance to explore the local culture. You can take a boat tour to the Uros Islands or take a day trip to the Sun Island.
When taking children on a trip, it's essential to prepare in advance to avoid any mishaps. The dry season is the greatest time to travel since it guarantees good weather. Pack lots of food and drink, as well as sun protection and bug repellant. Be flexible with your schedule and remind workers to take breaks on a regular basis.
The moment to relax and take in your surroundings has come; you've finally arrived at your destination and completed your itinerary. Your family will have the time of their lives in Bolivia, whether you take them to the Uyuni salt flats, wander the alleys of Sucre, visit Madidi National Park, or admire the scenery from Lake Titicaca.
