Real Bolivia & Argentina

Welcome to La Paz, the world's highest capital (3,650m). Your adventure begins with a group welcome meeting in the evening.

Free time to rest, acclimatise to the altitude and explore the buzzing streets of this Andean capital.

Guided orientation walk through La Paz including the famous Witches' Market (Mercado de las Brujas), indigenous culture, and historic Plaza Murillo.

In the evening, board the overnight bus to Uyuni (approx. 10 hours).

Arrive Uyuni and begin the three-day 4WD adventure. Visit the iconic Train Cemetery, then drive out onto the world's largest salt flat — Salar de Uyuni (10,582 km²).

Visit Incahuasi Island, a coral-like outcrop covered in giant cacti, and enjoy the legendary perspective-bending photo opportunities on the endless white plains.

Full day 4WD drive across the surreal high-altitude desert. Stop at coloured lagoons, see flamingos, llamas and Andean foxes.

Reach Laguna Colorada — a blood-red lake coloured by algae, rimmed with white borax deposits. Overnight in basic refugio accommodation in the desert.

Early morning drive past geysers and steaming fumaroles, then an optional dip in natural thermal baths.

Cross the border at 4,500m into Chile and descend to the oasis town of San Pedro de Atacama in the driest desert in the world.
