About this experience
This country will amaze even those who have traveled a lot. Trekking to the salt flats, lagoons, volcanoes and Lake Titicaca.
With ascent of the 6088 m high Huayna Potosí.
Bolivia is one of the most varied and adventurous countries in South America. A trip across the barren Altiplano to the Uyuni salt lake and into the wild southwest of Bolivia is one of the special and unusual travel experiences in South America. Few of the roads are paved. Across the salt lake, one often only orientates oneself according to the horizon. Thousands of flamingos cavort in the lagoons.
Another highlight is trekking to the 6008 meter high Uturuncu volcano. Climbing a six-thousander usually requires technical skills with rope and ice ax and is therefore reserved for mountaineers. Not so with this trek. Every healthy participant with a good physical condition can hike to the summit at a leisurely pace and fulfill their dream of a six-thousander. After a ten-day round trip in the high altitudes of Bolivia.
