    Bolivia: See & Experience Almost it ALL in 10 Days, 1st Class Custom Tours

    A 4-installment payment plan is available, often with 0 percent interest to those with at least decent credit. Ask us for details. Our luxury-oriented and itinerary-packed “Bolivia in 10 Days” tour is available for $2,915 USD per person. This price includes all transportation, including domestic flights. It also includes English-speaking tour guides, food, all activities and all entry fees. Also included is lodging for 6 nights, basically everywhere except for in La Paz. If you would like lodging included for the remaining 3 nights on this tour, then the combined (transportation, tour guides, food, activities, entry fees and lodging) total would be $3,180 USD per person. This price is based on 2 per room and is offered to those booking at least 6 weeks in advance. Note that whereas there is no fee associated with paying by check, there is a 3.5 percent surcharge for payments made by credit card. We accept both forms of payment. Moving forward, to better understand your specific circumstances and wishes, and for us to accurately quote you, please tell us:


    1. How many persons in your party-including yourself-would be joining this tour? Solo travelers are welcomed, in case you were wondering.

    2. What is your age and the age of your travel companion(s), if applicable? Travel insurance is required for this tour and we cannot quote you without knowing your age.

    3. Do you prefer this tour to be private/exclusive to you or would you like to share it with other travelers?

    4. Would you be sharing the room with others in your group (e.g. a spouse, relative or friend) or do you want the room exclusive to you?

    5. Where would you be flying from (and back to)?

    6. On what date would you like to leave home?

    7. Would you like to extend the duration of this tour so you have some free days just to relax? If you have 1 extra day, then we recommend La Paz. If you have 2, then we recommend 1 in La Paz and 1 at Lake Titicaca.

    8. Do you have a preference between male and female tour guides?

        Itinerary

        Day 1: Grand Monuments, City Sightseeing & Surreal-Looking Rock Formations

        Our tour of Bolivia starts in the colonial city of La Paz. It attracts visitors due to its surrounding nature and its Old Town, featuring buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries. Below is a list of highlights for today in and around the city. Also, note the cable car rides are attractions onto themselves, offering an experience found almost nowhere else on Earth.

        1. Valle de la Luna (a.k.a. Moon Valley): surreal-looking rock formations
        2. Green cable car ride
        3. Yellow cable car ride
        4. Plaza Murillo: home to Plurinational Legislative Assembly (a.k.a. the parliament, which can be visited on the outside only) and the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace
        5. Red cable car ride
        6. Blue cable car ride
        7. Plaza San Francisco: home to San Francisco Cathedral (the views from atop are great, but it isn’t always open to the public)

        Most of our international customers first arrive later-evening into the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra before reaching La Paz. If this is the case for you, then you can sleep at a hotel in Santa Cruz de la Sierra the night before our tour begins. The following morning, you could take a flight to La Paz. This tour starts the morning you have arrived into La Paz. We can arrange all of this for you. Don't worry!

        Also worth mentioning, if you are required to obtain a visa for Bolivia, we recommend you do so before entering the country. While it can also be done upon arrival, the process is quite lengthy and bureaucratic.

        Day 2: Immersing in Culture & Who in the Heck Named This Lake ‘Titicaca’?

        We make a daytrip from La Paz to a village called Copacabana. There we visit a famous cathedral. Afterwards, we take a boat to Lake Titicaca’s Sun Island. There we are provided with a guided walking tour first to the Inca palace and then to the Inca stairway. Archaeologists have discovered evidence that people lived on this island as far back as the third millennium BC. Many hills on this island contain agricultural terraces, which adapt steep and rocky terrain to agriculture. There are approximately 800 families living on this island. This is the place to be if you want to immerse yourself in Bolivian culture.

        Day 3: A Bicycling Adventure & is it Really ‘The World’s Most Dangerous Road’?

        Today we make a daytrip from La Paz to a very scenic mountain pass called La Cumbre. There we start a car cruise along Yungas Road, a.k.a. “The World’s Most Dangerous Road.” It was once considered just that because of its steep slopes and narrow single track. A new alternative route was built during a 20-year period, ending in 2006. The modernization included enlarging the carriageway from one to two lanes, asphalt paving, bridges, drainage, guardrails and the building of a new section between Chusquipata and Yolosa, bypassing the most dangerous sections of the original road.

        Later on in the day, we take a biking tour in the same area, but further down the mountain. Photos and short video clips of our journey are provided to us complimentary and via email. Lunch is included on today’s tour and is served at a hotel. There we can also go swimming.

        Day 4: Welcome to the Wildlife-Rich Wetlands

        Today we fly from La Paz to the town of Rurrenabaque and then drive to a village called Santa Rosa. There we take a wonderful boat ride along a river called Yacuma, with the destination being our ecolodge. Welcome to Bolivia’s wetlands, where the river cruises never cease to amaze. Note that all meals are included by our ecolodge during our stay.

        Day 5: Cruising Alongside Pink Dolphins & Going on River Cruises

        The highlights during our stay in the wetlands are fishing, crusing alongside pink dolphins, river cruises, searching for anacondas and seeing lots of beautiful wildlife. Many of these activities are done today.

        Day 6: Witnessing Bolivia’s Animal Kingdom

        Before returning to the city of La Paz, we spend much of the day on river cruises searching for caimans, monkeys, a unique-looking rodent called capybaras and numerous species of birds.

        Day 7: Jeep Safari on Salt Flats, Salt Hotel, Train Cemetery, Salt Factory & More

        Today we relocate early morning from the city of La Paz to the town of Uyuni. There we immediately start the 3-day Jeep safari tour. The first stop is the Train Cemetery. There we are provided with a guided tour. Next is a guided tour of the salt factory in the village of Colchani. Following this is lunch, which is included on today’s tour. After our meal, we are taken to the salt flats. They are called Salar de Uyuni. It is the largest salt flat on earth. It was formed as a result of transformations between several prehistoric lakes. We are first provided with a guided tour of some wells, getting an idea as to how they work geologically. We then see salt piles which resemble cones.

        Following the salt piles is a visit to the old Salt Hotel. There we have a quick look as to what is now a museum. Next is a site called Isla Incahuasi Island. There we have enough time to take postcard-perfect photos of the salt flats. Lastly for today is the village of San Juan, where we lodge for the evening. Dinner is included on today’s tour, around 8:30pm.

        *Note that today's itinerary changes a bit during wet season, which is January through March. Also, note that flights between La Paz and Uyuni often cancel. In such instances, we provide overnight land transfers. There is no rebate in the event we need to use a good quality bus (with reclining chairs) over an airplane.

        Day 8: Extinct Volcanoes, a Red Lagoon, Llamas & Flamingos

        The destinations for today are Cañapa Lagoon, then Hedionda Lagoon, then Honda Lagoon, then Siloli Desert and finally Laguna Colorada (a.k.a. Red Lagoon). Laguna Hedionda is notable for various migratory species of pink and white flamingos. Llamas and alpacas are also seen grazing in the area. Home to flamingos, Laguna Colorada is a shallow salt lake whose white color contrasts with the reddish color of its waters. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and lodging are all included on today's tour.

        Day 9: Bathing in Hot Springs & Checking Out Sulfur Springs & a Rock Valley

        The destinations for today are the geothermal field at Sol de Mañana, then Termas de Polques hot springs (bring swimming attire and a towel!), then Salvador Dalí Desert, then Laguna Verde (a.k.a. Green Lagoon) and then the village of Villa Mar. Sol de Mañana is a geothermal field characterized by intense volcanic activity. The sulfur springs field is full of lakes and steam pools filled with boiling mud. Known for its spectacular scenery, hot springs (where we go bathing) and flamingos, Laguna Verde is a salt lake home to minerals that render the color seen in the water.

        Breakfast is included on today’s tour, around 7:30am. Lunch is also included on today’s tour, around 1:00pm, specifically in Villa Mar. Following lunch is a visit to the Valley of the Rocks. Our last destination for today before taking an overnight land transfer back to La Paz is again, Uyuni.

        Day 10: Our Tour Ends Today

        Transportation will be arranged for you to reach the airport in La Paz.

        Worth noting, not included in our tour of Bolivia are (1) the city of Sucre, (2) the mines of Potosi, (3) Amboró National Park and (4) Noel Kempff Mercado National Park. However, upon request, CharlieTheTraveler can fully arrange a visit to any of these destinations. The two parks, especially Noel Kempff Mercado, are difficult-and expensive-to reach. As for Sucre, while there are only a handful of worthwhile historic monuments to check out, a track site called Cal Orcko is arguably the city’s main draw. Nine different morphotypes of REAL dinosaur tracks have been documented there.

        Not least is Potosi. This town was founded in 1546 after the discovery of the rich silver deposits in the Cerro Rico Mountains. It soon became one of the wealthiest and largest cities in the Americas. Some of the city’s wealth from silver mining was used to build magnificent baroque churches and monasteries. The history of Potosí is still reflected in the narrow streets, colonial mansions and the many churches. Potosi is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Nevertheless, the town itself isn’t charming by any means. The real reason to visit Potosi is for its silver mining tour. The mines of the Cerro Rico mountain are the richest in all of world history and may have produced 60,000 tons of silver back in the day. Some tourists enjoy this tour. Others get a bit sad after observing the miners’ working conditions. These mines are more of a ‘special interest’ type of attraction.

        We just completed CharlieTheTraveler's Bolivia trip and had a fantastic time. The country has such a wide variety of interesting sights and we managed to visit most of the best ones. His team of local guides based in La Paz were excellent. And while all of the sights and locations were interesting, I would single out the three-day excursion to the area near Uyuni as the major highlight for us. All in all, it was a wonderful trip and we highly recommend it.

        We saw so much in Uyuni and around La Paz that I’m not even sure where to begin. Charlie the Traveler put together a custom “tour for two” on very short notice and it was first class all the way — from the Uyuni Salt Flats to our La Paz hotel with a view of the Carnaval Parade route to the guide who took us hiking high up into the Andes. William, our contact, was in constant communication with us. We had expert drivers, comfortable vehicles, and depending on the day’s itinerary we had different bilingual guides with really impressive knowledge of Bolivia’s cultural heritage and history. We learned a lot and ate well every day! Never felt more catered to, or more pampered, by a tour company. Felt like it was truly important to everyone that we had a good time: and we did! We loved Bolivia, and I will never forget having a personal wine time set up for us in the middle of the salt flats. It was unreal! Thank you for everything William and thank you to Charlie the Traveler for making Bolivia an awesome experience we will always remember!

        CharlieTheTraveler’s tour to Bolivia was organized and planned with plenty of activities to do. I loved the sightseeing that was planned throughout the week. I loved the balance of the city tours and the natural landscape tours throughout the week, as it provided a well-rounded experience.

        The meals provided were fantastic. They reflected the country’s culture, so I felt like I had a complete cultural experience on this trip. Everything that was planned by CharlieTheTraveler made for a perfect vacation.

        When I saw the group was going to be small on this company’s Bolivia trip, I was excited to book. I hated trips with large groups because I tended to miss important information or did not get the full experience. On this CharlieTheTraveler’s tour, I did not once feel left out or forgotten. The tour was intimate and I had a great time with everyone in my group.

        When I was planning the summer vacation for my family, I found the list of the CharlieTheTraveler tours. I booked the Bolivia tour and was very happy with the trip. The tour guide provided by the company got to know us which made me feel welcomed. I found that each person in my family found something they loved about the trip, which made me relieved I picked this tour.

        We had an amazing trip!!! The company in Uyuni Damayatur went above and beyond for us! We also loved our driver in La Paz- and Nirco our tour guide too- so informative. We also really enjoyed Nilo our guide for the Mashaquipe Ecolodge and our tour there! It was a treat to be in the city for Gran Poder as well. Great trip! Highly recommend!!!

        Yacuma River, Preferred Accommodation: Mashaquipe Ecolodge

        *If you need to sleep in Santa Cruz for 1 night before our tour begins in La Paz, our preferred hotels in Santa Cruz are Hotel Terranova Suites and Sun Hotel.

        Is This a Private or Group Tour?

        Although many activities on this multi-day tour are shared with other travelers, we can make the trip almost completely private, per your request, at an additional cost. Typically, the salt flat tours, the wetlands tours, and the biking tour along Yungas Road are shared with other travelers. The tour to Lake Titicaca and the tour in and around La Paz are exclusive to you and whomever else you may book on behalf of.

        *Note that you are not with the same travelers and tour guides throughout your trip. Instead, you usually meet and engage with new people.

        Am I Sharing the Room with Someone?

        Your room is exclusive to you and whomever is in your party. Strangers (meaning customers who book on the same start date but do not know each other) do not share rooms on this tour. On a side note, please let us know if you and the other person(s) in your booking want separate rooms.

        What is the Age Range & Nationality of the People Who Book This Tour?

        Although we get customers of all ages and from several countries, our statistics show most people who book are 30 to 65 years old and from USA, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

        Are Kids Allowed on This Tour & Are They Charged the Same as Adults?

        We welcome your kids specifically and only when the tour is exclusive to you and your group-meaning other customers are not joining you. We define kids as anyone under 18 years old. In order to make the tour exclusive to you and your group, your booking would need to be for 4 persons or more for any of our tours except Iceland. For our Iceland tour, your booking would need to be for 8 persons or more. Regarding the cost of bringing a non-adult, we do deduct from the total based on the amount of activities you request we remove from the tour. Note that reducing the total price of the tour by removing activities is something offered for non-adults only. Adults can opt out of activities but the total price does not change.

        How Strong Do I Need to Be For This Trip?

        We do not expect you to be an Olympic champion. We know some of the tour members are more fit than others…and we are well prepared for this. However, we do hope you take into consideration this is a very active tour, just like every other tour we offer.

        Are Disabled People Allowed on This Tour?

        Please let us know about any disability you have. Some disabilities would not affect you taking this tour. Others would prevent you from joining altogether. Although we want all of our customers to have fun, your safety is our first priority.

        Do I Get Any Free Time to Myself?

        Of course. Once each day’s tour is over, you have the rest of the evening to yourself. Because our tours tend to be very active, our customers typically want to simply relax once the sun sets.

        What Happens If I Arrive Late?

        Notify us as soon as possible and we will do our very best to arrange a meeting point. Please note that we do not refund for any days or activities that you miss.

        Can I Opt-Out of Certain Activities?

        Generally speaking, you can opt out as long as we are given adequate notice. Please note that opting out of certain activities does not reduce the price of this tour.

        What Happens If I Get Injured on This Trip & Cannot Continue?

        We would do our best to keep you safe and make you as comfortable as possible, as well as make special arrangements to address your situation. Partial refunds are not offered if you cannot continue with the tour. However, most travel insurances reimburse you for such situations. This is one of many reasons why we require our customers to purchase travel insurance before taking this tour.

        What Happens If I Cancel This Trip?

        To confirm your tour, full payment is needed at the time of your purchase. However, refunds are offered. You will receive a full refund if canceling at least 91 days in advance from the departure date. Cancelling between 90-60 days prior to departure entitles you to a 50 percent refund. Cancelling between 59-31 days prior to departure entitles you to a 25 percent refund. Canceling 30 days or less prior to departure is not eligible for a refund. Cancellation requests need to be made by email and become effective on the date received by CharlieTheTraveler.

        What Happens If You, CharlieTheTraveler, Cancel This Trip?

        In the unlikely event CharlieTheTraveler needs to cancel this trip, such as because of very poor weather conditions, we will give you a full refund for the tour within 14 business days of the cancellation. Note: We are not a participant in the California Travel Consumer Restitution Fund, nor is this transaction covered by the Restitution Fund.

        How Do You Help Prepare Us For This Trip?

        You should receive an email from us within 24 hours of purchasing this tour as well as a week before departure. The first email gives details about what to bring, how to prepare yourself, etc. The second email is more like a timetable combined with important contact information.

        Is There Anything Out of the Ordinary I Should Bring on This Trip?

        Bring with you an external charger for your phone. Electric outages in the Bolivian desert are quite common. While in this desert, wear hiking shoes when the land is dry and water shoes when it is wet (specifically if visiting between December and early April). Also, wear a double pair of socks, warm clothes, a thick windbreaker, water-resistant pants (specifically if visiting between December and early April), headwear, a scarf and gloves. It gets cold, especially in the evenings. Wool, fleece and synthetic clothing are ideal for the desert, as opposed to cotton. Cotton absorbs and retains moisture from the air and from your body. On a different note, bring portable oxygen cans, to reduce altitude sickness. Lastly, you may need to bring adapters for your electronic devices.

        Is CharlieTheTraveler Licensed & Which State in America Issued it?

        The owner of the travel license is the same owner of CharlieTheTraveler. Charlie is a California born and bred resident. The company is headquartered in Greater Los Angeles. The registration number is CST 2136740-70. Please note that travel agents registered as a seller of travel in California does not constitute approval by the State. Also please note that California law requires sellers of travel to have a trust account or bond. CharlieTheTraveler has a trust account.

        Are the Tour Guides Licensed & Will They Be With Me the Entire Time?

        Our tour guides/drivers are licensed, speak English and know how to bring excitement to your day. What we deliver is the complete opposite of the cookie-cutting tours the big corporations offer, leaving you in complete boredom. Although our tour guides/drivers are attentive, accommodating and engaged, they also know when to give you your private space and free time. It's a perfect balance.

        In Which Language(s) is This Tour Offered?

        All of our tours are offered in English. If you prefer another language, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.

        Can We Customize This Tour?

        Although we are open to customizing this tour to fit your liking, as a general rule, we discourage the practice. We do our best to keep the cost of the tour low. The more we customize it, the quicker the price goes up. As our tour is currently advertised, you absolutely will not find another one out there as packed with activities and attractions. What’s more, you will not find another tour out there that offers it all "FIRST CLASS," yet for a relatively low price. We have thousands of travelers taking this specific tour every year, and that's because no competitor can beat us on quality, price & substance.

        Do We Need to Get Our Own Transportation to and From the Airport?

        Absolutely not. We make the arrangements for you.

        Is Someone Available for Us 24-7 While on This Tour?

        Yes! You have your own concierge for this tour who is at your disposal. You could reach this person when you need anything.
