Bolivia

Want to experience an unforgettable adventure in Bolivia? We’ve got what you need! At Howlanders, you’ll find a selection of tours in Bolivia designed especially for you, the intrepid traveler.

Bolivia is a unique destination with a rich culture and breathtaking landscapes featuring an array of flora and fauna 🙊🌸. This diversity is a result of the many ecosystems of the country; Bolivia’s Andean zone offers a temperate climate alongside the Amazon jungle areas.

Lake Titicaca can be reached from either Peru or Bolivia and it's a location that you can't miss.

La Paz is a charming capital but due to its altitude, we advise taking acclimatization seriously. As for the city itself, a walk through the historic center to discover its traditional markets should be at the top of your itinerary.

The best way to explore the Amazon Rainforest is through tours from Rurrenabaque (they include the Madidi and Pampas zones). With over 100 species of mammals and 700 species of birds 🦜, the rainforest is the perfect destination for animal lovers and adventure enthusiasts. In addition to the flora and fauna of the jungle, you can enjoy excursions such as boat rides, jungle hikes, animal watching, and much more. Every step of the way, you’ll be accompanied by an expert guide who will make your jungle experience safe and unforgettable.

Last but not least, the most popular tourist attraction is the Uyuni Salt Flats, located near the Bolivian town of Uyuni. You can book tours to the Uyuni Salt Flats departing from Uyuni or San Pedro de Atacama (Chile). This incredible attraction allows travelers to walk through a surreal landscape of natural mirrors and an infinite horizon. At Howlanders, book a variety of tours that suit your interests, from one-day tours to the classic 3-day route tours from Uyuni. The tours feature accommodations in salt hotels, safe and comfortable transportation, and unrivaled landscapes that seem to be from a different world. You’d have to see it to believe it!

The Uyuni Salt Flat is Bolivia's most sought-after destination. Taking a night bus, many visitors travel directly from La Paz to embark on the classic 3-day tour to the Uyuni Salt Flat starting the same morning. On the other hand, some prefer traveling from the comfort of a plane (Uyuni has an airport, and flight schedules have been adapted to tour departures).

The 3-day tour to the Uyuni Salt Flats is a small expedition that covers almost 560 miles (900 km) in one of the most remote regions of Bolivia. In addition to its remoteness, some sites boast an altitude exceeding 16,400 feet (5,000 meters), so it is essential to be well-adapted to the altitude before the tour. This tour offers a shared service with hostel accommodations in shared or private rooms. For travelers desiring extra comfort, we recommend booking the private tour to the Uyuni Salt Flats, featuring a similar itinerary but includes accommodations in 3-star hotels.

Travelers with less time to spare can opt for a day tour, where in addition to the Uyuni Salt Flat and Incahuasi, other nearby sites of interest are included on the itinerary.

If you're booking any of our tours in Bolivia, it’s important to know a few things:

The 💸 official currency of Bolivia is the Boliviano (BOB). Be sure to exchange your currency before arriving in Bolivia (we recommend doing so because it’s not easy to find places to exchange currency outside the main cities). We also advise carrying US dollars in cash, just in case you can’t get to a currency exchange.

The Bolivian 🌞 climate varies due to the geography and altitude of the specific city or region. For example, in the Andean region, where Uyuni is located, the winter is quite cold, especially during July and August. Be sure to research the climatic conditions of the regions you plan to visit before departing on your trip. 

As for the gastronomy🍴 , we recommend trying the ceviche, peanut soup, and salteña.

Don't wait, book your Bolivian tour now and experience the trip of a lifetime!
