About this trip
Eleven days through Bolivia and Chile, starting in La Paz and finishing in Santiago, with the Uyuni salt flats and the Atacama desert in between.
This is a trip built around two big landscapes — the blinding white of the Salar de Uyuni and the stark, high-altitude terrain of the Atacama Plateau — with time built in to explore both properly.
It's partially guided, so you get organised adventures alongside stretches of free time to explore La Paz, Santiago and the towns in between at your own pace.
What you'll do
- Explore La Paz
- Cross the salt flats of the Salar de Uyuni
