The world’s largest salt flats
Known to the locals of Bolivia as
Salar de Uyuni, the Uyuni salt flats are the largest on earth. A seemingly endless ocean of perfectly flat salty wastes with blue skies overhead. In the rainy season (January - March), the salt flats become a perfect mirror that stretches on to the horizon, reflecting the sky and the clouds. It’s one of the most magical and unique natural phenomena you’ll ever see.
Bike down Death Road
Death Road is a mountainous route that stretches on for miles along a perilous cliff edge. There are no barriers, so this is definitely for dare devils. The road is used every day by locals and tourists, and you can mountain bike along it if you’re brave enough. Blind bends and narrow stretches make it a perilous journey, but one that can easily be conquered as long as you’re careful, focussed, and confident.
Indigenous people
In La Paz is a place known as the
Witches’ Market. It’s a place that sells traditional potions said to cure ailments. At this market, you’ll find the indigenous people of Bolivia trading their wares: medicines, clothing, food, and more.
The Amazon
There isn’t much that needs to be said here! The Amazon is one of planet Earth’s most famous and treasured natural wonders. A vast and infinitely sprawling rainforest full of strange and wonderful animals and plant life. It’s a dense place of mystery and excitement that you can visit for yourself when you visit Bolivia.
