POTOSI
POTOSI
During the 16th century Potosi
was one of the largest and
wealthiest cities in Latin America, its
fortune coming from the rich deposits
of silver ore that ran through the hillside.
A UNESCO World Heritage site, today it
is one of Bolivia’s important treasures,
the most famous building being the
Royal Mint House which produced silver
coins for the colonial Spanish empire.Select this tailor made option
SALAR DE UYUNI AND THE LAGOONS
SALAR DE UYUNI AND THE LAGOONS
Located close to the border with Chile, the Salar De Uyuni is the largest and highest salt lake in the world. The contrasting colours of the blue sky and the dazzling white salt surface make for an amazing spectacle. Nearby can be found the spectacular Laguna Colorada, with its flaming red algae-rich waters, where flamingos can be seen, and Laguna Verde, whose startling green surface is almost unreal. Add to these colours some geothermal activity and a backdrop of towering volcanoes and you have some of the most unusual and photogenic landscapes to be found anywhere. A visit to this region is often combined with a stay in Atacama in Chile.Select this tailor made option
LAKE TITICACA AND SUN ISLAND
LAKE TITICACA AND SUN ISLAND
The two day visit to Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, is one of the highlights of any itinerary to Bolivia. With the snow-capped Andes in the background, the deep blue water of the lake, and the strong sunlight, it is a photographer's dream. You will learn about the ancient communities who have lived on the lake for generations, and stay overnight on Sun Island (Isla del Sol) at the simple but delightful Posada del Inca Eco Lodge, which you reach on foot, with llamas carrying your luggage.Select this tailor made option
COLONIAL SUCRE
COLONIAL SUCRE
Bolivia’s charming and relatively little known capital, Sucre is one of South
America’s colonial gems. Founded by the Spanish in 1538 the city’s narrow
streets and whitewashed buildings very much reflect the Andalusian heritage of its
founders. Often referred to as ‘La Cuidad Blanca’ (White City) it is a captivating
collection of colonial elegance and leafy plazas, filled with an array of beautifully
preserved 16th century buildings whose rich blend of local and European
architectural traditions have earned the city UNESCO World Heritage Status. Site
of the declaration of Bolivian Independence in 1825 and still the seat of the Catholic
church in Bolivia, Sucre nestles at the foot of the Churuquella and Sika Sika hills,
making this an ideal base from which to visit Potosi and nearby Tarabuco.Select this tailor made option
THE SUNDAY MARKET AT TARABUCO
THE SUNDAY MARKET AT TARABUCO
This very colourful Indian market is considered to be one of the most authentic markets in Latin America. The Sunday market is important to the local community and the clothing of the Tarabuqueno men and women (who still speak Quechua rather than Spanish) has not changed since Inca times. Their weavings are among the best in technique, quality and colour and the prices are very competitive.Select this tailor made option
