Overall was a great trip. The 27 days tour starting from Uyuni and ends in Lake Titicaca was amazing. All the guides were friendly and professional, especially the one in La Paz (Leonardo), he was Super helpful and knowledgeable and would strongly recommend people to use he.Phil Bland review 19 May 2017
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
We loved the variety offered by Bolivia, from the stunning mountains of the Altiplano to the breathtaking views over lake Titikaka to the exciting wildlife in the pampas grasslands to the incredible, other-worldly experience of the salt flats and desert. It's therefore extremely difficult to single out just one aspect of the trip.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
You experience extremes of temperature during this trip and extremes of altitude. Packing is therefore a challenge. Make sure you layer up as much as possible and make clothes/ shoes double up as much as possible. You'll need a torch and good wet/ cold weather gear. Take a trekking towel. Take toilet paper and always have some on your person.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Very much so. From a visit to a local Yampata community to the eco-lodge in the Pampas, we felt that we were able to support local people over and above the guides that were used.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
This extended trip to Bolivia was a fabulous start to our kind of "gap year". You feel that you need at least a month to try to do justice to a country as large and diverse as Bolivia and that there was even more that we could have done. That said, the program covers a lot of ground and packs in so many amazing experiences and we felt far richer for the experience.David Torres review 10 Jan 2017
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The Uyuni Salt Flats. We were fortunate enough to see it after a rainfall and it was looking into a reflective pool.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Be prepared for any weather – we had some hot weather, cold weather, and rain. Also, be prepared for altitude as La Paz starts at over 3000m and everyone reacts to altitude differently.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, we used local guides, stayed at a mix of hotels/local homestays, and ate at local restaurants.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
We had a wonderful time in Bolivia, we wish we had more time to explore the country more, we'll be back!Holiday Reviews
