Bolivia is a unique country situated in South America, made up of 3 distinct regions - the Andes mountains, the Yungas and the Llanos.

The western Altiplano plateau of the Andes mountains sits at 12,000 feet with snow-capped peaks like the majestic Illimani overlooking La Paz (the world's highest administrative capital city!).

The complete opposite of this landscape is the Yungas - a verdant cloud forest region on the eastern slopes of the Andes, home to an incredible diversity of wildlife native to Bolivia and if you head towards Llanos, you'll get to see the Amazon rainforest and the Gran Chaco basin.

If you want to go to the highest capital city in the world, fly to La Paz, Bolivia. It sits at a staggering 11,975 ft above sea level and is located within a canyon carved out by the Choqueyapu River.

The Illimani mountain towers over this city, creating a dramatic landscape and unique microclimate rarely seen elsewhere on Earth. La Paz was first inhabited by the indigenous Tiwanaku people long before the Spanish arrived up until 1548, when it became a mining centre. It played an important role in Bolivia's fight for independence in the 1800s.

La Paz is best explored by cable car. It has an extensive cable car system, known as Mi Teleférico, offering stunning views of the city and the mountains that surround it. Down below, you can wander through the Mercado de las Brujas (Witches' Market) to find all sorts of medicinal herbs, potions, amulets and other witchery supplies (also a great place to learn about traditional Aymara beliefs).

Still bargain hunting? Well, here's a little secret. We've cooked up a secret weapon. Our best fare-finder tool allows you to easily and quickly compare all of the flight prices on the week surrounding your original search and find the most affordable flight.

Acclimatise to Altitude Gradually: Many of Bolivia's highlights are at high elevations (La Paz, Uyuni, Potosí). To avoid altitude sickness, arrive at a lower altitude if possible, take it easy for your first day or two, stay well-hydrated, and consider traditional coca leaves or tea. Avoid alcohol and caffeine initially.

Prioritise Safety and Smart Transport: While generally safe, be mindful of petty crime. Keep valuables secure and be vigilant in crowded areas. When taking taxis in cities, use radio taxis or apps. Be aware that roadblocks due to protests can cause significant delays, so stay flexible and check local updates.

Learn Basic Spanish and Be Culturally Sensitive: English isn't widely spoken outside tourist areas, so knowing some basic Spanish phrases will greatly enhance your interactions. Be respectful of Bolivia's rich indigenous culture: always ask for permission before taking photos of people.

Pack for Diverse Climates: Bolivia's geography ranges from the cold Andes to the humid Amazon. Layering is essential for fluctuating temperatures. Pack warm clothes, a waterproof jacket, and strong sun protection (sunscreen, hat, sunglasses) for high altitudes. If heading to the jungle, bring insect repellent.
