DISCOVERY OF BOLIVIA
The Andean adventure
Bolivia is perhaps one of the least known destinations in South America, but it is one of the most authentic, where Andean traditions and colonial heritage blend in harmony. Located between the Cordillera and the tropical plains, Bolivia is full of unique and contrasted landscapes, far from the usual tourist crowds. From the majestic Lake Titicaca extending across the border with Peru, to the immense Uyuni Salt Flat, along with the Bolivian altiplano and its colorful lakes home to flamingoes and giant cacti… this beautiful country awaits you to discover its historical architecture and breathtaking landscapes.
