Bolivia Travel Guide 2026: Places to Visit and Bolivian Culture

In Bolivia, altitude shapes the travel plan. La Paz stands above 3,600 metres, and breathing can be hard in the first days. The dry season runs from May to October, when the Uyuni salt flat can be crossed and the sky is clear. In the rainy season from January to March, a thin sheet of water covers the flat and mirrors the sky.

Places to visit

  • La Paz: a city spread across a valley in the Andes, where cable car lines are part of public transport.
  • Uyuni Salt Flat: a salt plain of more than 10,000 square kilometres.
  • Lake Titicaca and Copacabana: a shore town near the Peruvian border, with boat trips on the lake.

Planning tips

Keep the first day light while you adjust to the altitude, drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol. In Uyuni the temperature falls fast after sunset, so pack warm clothing. People reach Uyuni from La Paz by plane or by a long road journey.
