The world's largest salt plain is a popular and scenic destination for tour groups.
Without a doubt one of the most stunning and special places in the world we have toured, it is advisable to book a three-day tour well in advance from one of the leading companies in the area, rather than from small companies.

This silver mining site dates back to the Spanish colonial era.
My first time going to the Southernmost community in the Americas [turn around point: Puerto WilliamsCHILE] was incorporated into my overall “Tierra del Fuego” odyssey, which began when my wife dropped me off in Centro ElPasoTX-USA and I Gimpwalked across Puente Santa Fe into magnificent Mexico! The red-eye from CJS took me to MEX then onto LIM, from where I made my way to Pto. WilliamsCHILE by various means. My intention was to primarily stay at/close to sea level until moving Northward, when I would ascend to the Altiplano/acclimatize to AMS (usually takes me about 24-hours) and remain at altitude for a month or so, primarily to explore beautiful Bolivia. So, by the time I arrived in Potosí, I needed a decent night’s sleep to complete acclimating and the highly recommended KOALA DEN HOSTEL was the place for me, arriving by taxi/colectivo 07MAR2020. Unfortunately, it has no grab bars/handrails/ramps at the entrance and the risers on the steps are quite steep—any traveller more disabled than me (I use a stick) would not stay here. Fortunately, JULIO (a former miner) was in charge and welcomed me into the Den, quickly assigning me to a bottom bunk in the dorm. I had great doubts I’d be able to stay, but Julio & the best brekkie I think I’ve ever had at a hostel convinced me otherwise. Featured prominently was a poster advertising the KOALA MINE TOUR, and, though I’m a bit claustrophobic, I was intrigued and realized that this was THE reason I came here: to explore/understand the essence of Potosí. I committed myself to going, and am so glad I did because the tour is far more than spending two hours in an enclosed space! On 08MAR2020, Ayer the great brekkie, we [I & three others(Christine & Anthony, Hong Kong; Ahmedeo, SpanishItalian) we’re escorted to the bus & great guide RONALD, who gave expert commentary (in English) throughout the 4-5 hour session. Despite my inability to continue far into the diminishing tunnel space—claustrophobia not withstanding—my great problem was not being able to bend my body enough to avoid continuous contact with the rock-hard overhead (good thing hard hats were provided!), and had to backtrack the 15-20 minutes progress, I felt immense satisfaction with the entire experience. So will you! I highly recommend this and it certainly has my coveted “iWheel of Approval!”

This icy high-altitude lake is the legendary birthplace of the Inca civilization, and is also believed to hold precious Inca treasure. When Jacques Cousteau explored the lake for treasure, he discovered instead a large, colorful deep-water frog.
The lake is so blue that one will be surprised. We had a cruise trip. Enjoyed the lake Titikaka under which Inca temples are merged . We had nearly 5 h stay on cruise and enjoyed its last bite. It is the most sacred Lake in Latin America which was worshiped by Pre Inca Tiwanaku and Inca people. Life time experience for anyone.

The famous "green lake."
This was the last stop at our 3-day Uyuni tour before reaching the Chilean border. The lake has a beautiful green colour and it is a great photo opportunity together with Licancabur volcano in the background. There were more impressive lagoons on this trip (above all Laguna Colorada), but still certainly worth a visit. Perhaps I missed the flamingos - there are none here as the water contains arsenic.

Having done a down hill off Volcan Toco near San Pedro de Atacama which was steep fast and quite hairy, this was a bit more pedestrian, but then the consequences are a little bit more dire if you get it wrong. Just pick a good Bike company that puts safety and professionalism first - so you may pay a bit more - so you can enjoy the day. I went with Gravity in La Paz and they were great. Good fun but still safe with good bikes. And there were a few kids riding down the road but if you ask me - ballsie parents!

This island is a must do. You must be fit as climbing is involved. I would recommend a 1 to 2 night stay or longer if you want to chill. To get to the island you must take a 25 Bob boat ride lasting 1.5hrs. There is a 10bob entrance fee to the island. The return fare was 30bob.The island has many restaurants which serve simple food.

Before leaving Copacabana you have to go up there, the walk is hard but worth the view. You cant forget...you have to leave a stone in the top on one of the status for good luck. Take as many Pictures as you can...this place is for far the best view you will get.
