Highlights of Bolivia with Chile

15 days from £2,151

This invigorating holiday highlights the remote wilderness of southern Bolivia and the Atacama desert over the border in Chile, visiting the Uyuni salt flats  as well as taking you to the kinder climates of Bolivia in the sub-tropical Yungas and sunny Sucre, a colonial masterpiece.  Many roads through this rugged terrain remain unpaved but a slower pace of travel only enhances a visit to this adventurous destination.

Owing to many clients' preference for flexibility, and the variation in flight price according to season and availability, the price quoted excludes the cost of international flights, which we will happily arrange for you. Flights to Latin America can be daytime or overnight, while the return flight is always overnight, so you will need to add at least one day to arrive at the total length of your holiday.
