Salar de Uyuni

The world's largest salt plain is a popular and scenic destination for tour groups.

Reviewed By Shl0miG - Tel Aviv, Israel

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.

Cerro Rico

This silver mining site dates back to the Spanish colonial era.

Reviewed By Juanito_Hayburg - El Paso, United States

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!”

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.

Reviewed By kkdas - Bijapur, India

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.

Fuerte de Samaipata

The archaeological site contains walls from ancient Inca dwellings.

Reviewed By roamer70

We try to get to Samaipata at least once or twice a year. This year was special though. Our oldest son together with our oldest grandson (our oldest grandchild for that matter) was in Santa Cruz for a visit. So, accompanied by the queen (wife/mother/grandmother) we took the three hour trip up the narrow winding road that leads from Santa Cruz to Samaipata, a small, thriving town famed for El Fuerte, a religious site dating back more than two thousand years. Located on one of the higher hills in the area, this ancient religious site can be reached by an even more winding, steeply climbing road (paved all the way I should add) that puts your car and the driver to a bit of a test. But El Fuerte is well worth the trip. The site apparently was established by the Chane around the second century BC and much later occupied by the Incas followed by the Guarani and Spanish. There is a well-marked route through the site that features the main ceremonial site, and housing and building foundations from all the major eras. Over these past years, the whole site has been expanded and protected and there are excellent viewing ramps/platforms wherever required. There knowledgeable guides available to accompany you through the site and provide additional information. Associated with El Fuerte is the Museo Arqueologico, small but exceedingly well presented that should not be missed. It is located very conveniently near the main plaza.
