Two Weeks
Best of Bolivia
This bare-bones itinerary will take you to the best of Bolivia at a head-rattling pace. Start
out with a day of acclimatization in
La Paz
visiting the markets. History buffs can take a
side trip to
Tiwanaku
. From La Paz, head to
Lake Titicaca
. Allow up to three days on
the lake to take in the sites of Copacabana and Isla del Sol and continue your acclimatiza-
tion. From there, circle down the Altiplano (via La Paz) to the
Salar de Uyuni
for a bone-
chatteringly cold three-day jeep tour. You can extend your trip to take you to the former
territory of Butch Cassidy in the pleasant cowboy town of
Tupiza
. Swing up to
PotosÃ
, a
starkly beautiful Unesco World Heritage city, situated at 4070m, where you can visit the
mint and mines. After a day or two, head to the white city of
Sucre
to hang out with stu-
dents in grand plazas. Return to La Paz via
Cochabamba
, taking in the good views along
the way. On your last day in La Paz, consider a day of museum-hopping or a mountain-
bike ride down the World's Most Dangerous Road to
Coroico
.
