Upon reaching La Paz International Airport, you will be welcomed by an English-speaking guide outside of Customs who will be holding a sign with your name on it. This tour will lead you to your assigned driver who will take you to your initial hotel, help with check-in, and address any inquiries you may have.

Today, your private guide will show you the Witches Market of La Paz, also known as Mercado de los Brujos, where you'll find rare handicrafts, trinkets, and tinctures and oils that claim to help find wealth or infidelity. Later, visit the colonial Church of San Francisco and lively Sagarnaga Street, another famous charm supplier. You'll visit Murillo Square, where the Metropolitan Cathedral, Government Palace, and Parliament buildings are, learning about the city's political past, before arriving at Jaen Street, a colonial neighborhood with several interesting museums, including a replica of Tiwanaku culture's semi-subterranean temple.

After seeing La Paz, the scene switches to the city's outskirts, where a millennia-old formation has formed. In this all-but-lunar location, a clay mountain has crumbled into a cascade of spires, creating the Moon Valley. After driving 30 minutes to the valley, follow your guide on a short hike to explore at your own pace. Visit a tiny ceramic workshop to learn about Bolivian ceramics and buy a souvenir when the time is perfect. After touring La Paz and the Moon Valley, return to your accommodation.

Leave for Tiwanaku, the capital of an ancient civilization with the same name. Tiwanaku, once the greatest colony in Latin America and the origin of all American civilizations, located 45 miles east of La Paz on Lake Titicaca. It seems like archeologists have debated this pre-Columbian ruin forever. The latest radiocarbon tests date this edifice to 1580 B.C., while some disagree. Visit the Kalasasaya Temple (Sun Temple) and semi-subterranean Akapana Pyramid in this old and beautiful city. A visit to an outstanding museum with ancient items and tools shows how advanced this society was.

Fly direct from La Paz to Sucre. Flights last about an hour.

A professional driver and English-speaking guide will transport you from your hotel to Sucre's Alcantari Airport.

Sucre, in Bolivia's southern highlands, was founded in 1538 as Ciudad de la Plata de la Nueva Toledo. Home to several classic buildings that should not be missed on a vacation to the country, today you'll explore the city's major features with your private guide. The House of Freedom Historical Museum has a stunning collection of Bolivian precious and semiprecious stones. Proceed to La Recoleta viewpoint for panoramic city views before visiting the Asur Textile Museum, which showcases indigenous art. Finally, take a panoramic tour of the city to see the most famous church façade, San Lazaro and Santo Domingo, and finish the day at Bolivar Park. The Museum of Treasure will replace the House of Freedom Historical Museum on Sundays and Mondays.  

Leave Sucre this morning in a private vehicle with a professional driver and an English-speaking guide for Potosi, a mining city. Potosi, once South America's silver mining hub, is one of the world's highest cities at nearly 13,000 feet. Potosi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with magnificent colonial architecture and a terrible mining town past, will be explained by your guide. Visit San Lorenzo Church to admire its beautiful façade, Casa de la Moneda, Bolivia's national mint, the Tower of Company, the Arch of Cobija, and the colonial artisan's market to shop for local handicrafts. After visiting the market square, continue from Potosi to the Bolivian Salt Flats near Colchani in the Salar de Uyuni.

The salt flats of Salar de Uyuni are a feature of any Bolivian vacation. Mesmerizing and spectacular year-round, the salt flats, cracked in a mosaic of dry-mud tiles, allow for perspective play from April to November (the annual dry season). From December to March, the flats are covered in water, creating a giant reflective mirror that mirrors the sky. The stunning optical illusions make the area a photographer's paradise year-round. Next, visit Incahuasi Island amid the salt flat. Incahuasi, the largest island in this isolated ecosystem, is home to 26-foot-tall cacti, a strange sight in this seemingly-lunar setting. After the salt flats, you'll be taken to your Colchani hotel. When the flats flood, Incahuasi Island is inaccessible. The scenery remains stunning.

Visit Bolivia's desolate Train Cemetery to start your day in the salt flats. Hulking remnants from the past rest like fossilized animals in this empty world. Next, see the charming settlements of Sud Lípez and San Cristobal in the southern flats, experiencing native life in this secluded area. Your next stop is Rock Valley, with its enormous red rocks. You'll stop for a picnic lunch in the countryside before returning to your car to drive to your Ojo de Perdiz hotel.

Today, leave your accommodation at early to explore Ojo de Perdiz. The Siloli Desert, a flatland without flora, is home to the Stone Tree, a mute witness to erosion and time. The Red Lagoon is in Reserve Eduardo Abaroa, outside the desert. A fascinating example of biodiversity in a bleak location, it shows the strength of adaptability. Next, explore the geyser Sol de Mañana (Morning Sun), called for its morning activity. Explore the volcanically heated Polques hot springs next. Enjoy a picnic lunch before seeing the Green Lagoon, known for its active microorganisms that color the water. After the tour, you'll be dropped up at Salar de Uyuni Airport for your trip to La Paz.

Salar de Uyuni has direct flights to La Paz. Flight is about 50 minutes.
