Bolivia is a country which is very different to anything you will have experienced before. Although this means it is not the easiest place to travel, this is also what makes it so special.

This is “once in lifetime” kind of trip. If you are able to travel with a lot of patience and a healthy sense of humor, then we know that you - like all of us - will be captivated by what Bolivia has to offer. This is a trip you will tell others for the rest of your life.
