Destination guide
Salt flats, high-altitude cities, and landscapes that feel like another planet.
Bolivia is raw and dramatic. The Uyuni salt flats turn into a mirror during rainy season, La Paz clings to mountainsides at 3,600m, and the high desert is dotted with flamingo-filled lagoons. It's one of South America's most unforgettable budget destinations.
