The world's largest salt plain is a popular and scenic destination for tour groups.
Reviewed By Isabel B - Medellin, Colombia
We were traveling around the bolivian altiplanic for three days. We bought a private tour in Denomades.com (Salar de Uyuni superior). Our guide was Super Mario (Luis). He took my two frieds and I into amazing places: ask Denomades for him to be your guide. On the third day we arrive to the Salar de Uyuni, a place that I don't have words to describe. Just go!

We had an excellent experience with the team at Urban Rush! It was absolutely terrifying and thrilling - would highly highly recommend. The team were very knowledgeable and supportive - they helped calm us down when we were panicked and provided opportunities to practice as many times as we wanted inside before climbing out. A really exciting experience - particularly free falling at the end! Big thanks to the team who were fantastic and lots of fun!

We visited the Laguna on a 3-day-trip from Uyuni and we liked it most of all the ones on our trip. The intense red in combination with the blue, grey and white along with the flamingos made the perfect scenery for some amazing pictures.
4. Lake Titicaca

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.

6. Torotoro National Park

This park is a treasure trove of dinosaur footprints and other fossils.
Reviewed By rapha_y_nici - Canton of Zurich, Switzerland
Came here with a minibus which left Cochabamba when it was full. The place where they leave is marked correctly in maps.me. It's around the corner Avenida Republica & Calle Mairana, taxi drivers seem to know it. Once there we could subscribe for the ride and wait until bus was full (our bus had approx 13 seats). Try not to be the last ones because then seated in the backrow which is tight. Ride is 35bob pp. We arrived there on saturday begin of june at 0745am, left at 0845am. Just to give an indication. Ride took us 4h incl. 15min toilet and snack break, road was cobble stone and a bit bumpy but was ok.
The ride back took us 4.5h, dont know why, but no problem.
Already the journey to Torotoro served a nice landscape. Once there, went to the Tour- and ticketoffice (next to each other). First, we want to mention, that prices are very fair, even you need a guide for the excursion. Entry to the park is 100bob, what is not that much for what you can see over several days or even in 1 or 2 days. First day we did the most popular ones, 'Ciudad de Itas' and 'Caverna de Umajalanta' for which a transport is necessary. Therefore, we decided to make these two at the same day. The guide and the transport incl. small entrance fee and helmets with lamps for the cavernas cost all together 606bob. This price can be divided within the group you form. If you're 6 people its just 101bob for the entire day (entrance of 100bob is separate but valid for further tours). This price is very low for what you get in a that small group! You can do a tour as well with a smaller group, you just have to pay the amount requested. Price is per group not per person. But it's easy to get a group because in the morning there are always visitors around to ask. Our young guide Diego explained everything in a good understandable Spanish and made us feeling safe. I'm a bit claustrophobic and another one in our group as well but, the cavernas where that impressive that we made it, even through the most narrow parts of the cavernas. If you're very claustrophobic, i guess i wouldn't do that. It was not that easy but we made it and were very happy because it was very impressive. We entered the cavernas until 300m inside and could see the river flowing through and take a bath in the pool inside (cold but very special). Overall, an incredible day! The transport which is included to the Ciudad takes almost 1 hour, then to the Cavernas (before entering is a lunchbreak, bring something) approx 50mins and at the end of the day another 20mins to get back to Torotoro. We were back there at approx 0600pm, tired but very happy and thankful for this great experience! Wear a light long sleeve and clothes which might get dirty, you need to crawl sometimes. Maybe clothes you need to laundry anyway. Bring good shoes. There is some climbing at the Ciudad de Itas and in the Cavernas, being a bit fit helps. Wouldn't recommend it for children. Ask at the guides office!
The next day we did the Vergel tour through the canyon combined with the 'Chiflon' what was a walk of total approx 6h (this combination is concidered as 1.5 tours, therefore it was 150bob for the guide, very fair price). The walk down into the canyon took us 800 steps from the incredible lookout which is 300m up the bottom of the canyon. We hiked through the canyon and had lunch at the beautiful Waterfalls. The second part was walking with a bit climbing up and walking back to town. Also very impressive and interesting information provided by our guide. In the beginning of the Vergel hike you can see some dinosaur steps.
All the places we saw were impressive and we are very happy to have done the efforts to get there. The guides do a great job and the town of Torotoro is a nice place to hang out with cheap accommodation options. There is a good pizza restaurant and an eating hall (plate for 10bob and good). Overall, very nice experience in Torotoro and worth the effort to get there! When travelling during wet season check weather conditions. Go for it ;-)

The archaeological site contains walls from ancient Inca dwellings.
Reviewed By frequent1 - Groveland, California
We hired a Jeep to go to the fort while spending the weekend in Samaipata. It is said that this fort is pretty Incan and established by the ancient tribe of Change the Incas and invaded by the Guarani. Very cool day. The guide also took us to a very cool waterfall nearby.

Reviewed By LucyLu_Texas - Houston, Texas
Can see all of in it under 2 hours, or spend the day at the many pools & fun activities like mini-golf. This place is probably packed on nice weekend. My favorite was the Bird enclosure, which is full of friendly, photographic parrots. May is wrong time for most butterflies (January is best) but the butterfly enclosure & hatchery are both interesting. Pricey at 140 Bolivianos (about $20 US) for admission.

Reviewed By Barbora K
This church offers much more than you could imagine! Definitely go to 'mirador' where you get the best view all over city. Moreover, the colonial architecture makes you think that you are somewhere else than in Bolivia! It is also a school so on weekdays it is open only in the afternoon.
