Introducing Bolivia Packed with extreme landscapes and diverse cultural heritage, Bolivia is becoming an increasingly popular destination for more adventurous travelers. With altitudes ranging from slightly above sea level to over 20,000 feet, the landlocked country has a variety of climates that make for an amazing trip where one can combine visits to rain forests, deserts, mountains, plains, lakes and more. To meet the growing demand for trips to Bolivia, we are excited to launch a brand new sample itinerary--just in time for the New Year--that demonstrates the best of the country's highlands: Bolivia: Salt flats and silver. Over 12 days and 11 nights, our suggested itinerary includes guided excursions to the key destinations in the Bolivian Andes,   incorporating the most comfortable and authentic accommodations along the way.
