My wife and I arrive in La Paz June 29, will spend the rest of the day around the city, and are looking to do the following (tell me if it's reasonable). Salar de Uyuni, Lake Titicaca, Amazon Forest. Does anybody know if this is realistic in 9 days? We are thinking about a custom tour from Banjo Tours. Does anybody know any other companies that run decent tours that either (a) takes in these places in one longer tour, or (b) runs three tours we can hop on consecutively to maximize our...

Hi,

I am from the UK and am hoping to visit Cochabamba in the Summer, during which time I will be volunteering with an NGO. This will be my first time in South America. I have had a look online and could not find much safety advice specifically concerning Cochabamba so was just wondering if anyone on here had any experience/knowledge they might be able to share.

Many thanks,

Flying from Miami, Florida to Bolivia, I have 5 days in late June and I wish to visit the Salt Flats. What is the closest city one would recommend I travel to? Should I fly Miami – La Paz and then take a commuter flight to ____ where in Bolivia that would bring me closest to the Salt Flats? I appreciate any and all tips. I’m just starting my research. Thanks.

I plan to go from La Paz to Laguna Tuni, and stay the night there.
Has anyone been there without a tour? Are there local houses or huts that accept guests?

Thanks

Posting in Peru forum as well.
We have three weeks, starting the end of December, to spend in Peru and Bolivia (and a day or two in Santiago) and are trying to work out an itinerary that is not too rushed. We fly into Lima and out of Santiago and at this early stage are thinking we will fly straight from Lima to Cuzco and spend about a week in the area, including the Sacred Valley. We enjoy walking, history, and culture, and there seems to be plenty to do here, although weather may be...

I'm planning a photography trip to Bolivia and Peru in May and am looking for a Salt Flats tour which involves a night spent on, or right on the edge of, the salt flat, in order to photograph the sunset, sunrise and Milky Way over the flats.

Does anyone know any tour operators who do this, or who can offer it? I know there are the ridiculously expensive Airstream cabins, but also know that you can camp on some of the islands within the lake, or on the salt flat itself....

Hallo liebe Reisende,

Wir würden gerne von La paz nach Rurrenabaque. Zeitraum ende märz anfang april. Leider fällt das noch in die Regenzeit.
Hat jemand Erfahrungen mit der Strecke und kann uns sagen, ob es gefährlich ist den Bus zu nehmen? (Das es lang und vermutlich anstängend wird haben wir gehört - es fällt uns nur schwer einzuschätzen wie gefährlich die strecke ist)

Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe!
Liebe grüße Milena

Dear...
