5 Days in Bolivia - 4 Unique Itinerary Ideas

These 5-day itineraries offer a range of options for a compact trip to Bolivia. It's a solid bet to focus your time and energy on La Paz and the dramatic landscapes that surround it, enjoying a cycling trip down Death Road. Or divide your time between La Paz and Lake Titicaca, learning about Andean history and indigenous culture while exploring the lake's islands by boat. One exciting itinerary leads you deep into the Bolivian Amazon, and another takes you across the border to Chile, combining time in the Atacama Desert with a few days exploring the Uyuni Salt Flats and the lagoons of Bolivia's high desert.

1 Week in Bolivia - 5 Unique Itinerary Ideas

If you have a week to spend in Bolivia, one great option is a highlights tour that includes stops in several cities: La Paz, Sucre, and Potosí, as well as time to explore the Uyuni Salt Flats. Another itinerary focused on two destinations, Lake Titicaca and La Paz, offers a more in-depth experience of Bolivia's urban culture and outdoor landscapes. You could opt for an active adventure that features caving, hiking, and swimming in waterfalls in Torotoro National Park, explore the wilderness of the Bolivian Amazon, or combine a few days in Bolivia with a short visit to Chile's Atacama Desert. Read on to learn more about your itinerary options.

With 10 days in Bolivia, travelers have several options. On a highlights tour, you'll explore the colonial city of Sucre, walk the startling white expanse of the Uyuni Salt Flats, and learn about indigenous culture on Lake Titicaca. If it's nature you're interested in, consider an itinerary focused on Bolivia's most beautiful landscapes, including Torotoro National Park, the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve, and the Umajalanta Cavern. Alternatively, combine a trip through the Andes and Lake Titicaca with a jungle adventure in the Amazon rainforest, or spend several days in Peru before exploring Bolivia. Read over the following itineraries to learn more about your options.

Consider yourself lucky if you have two weeks to spend in Bolivia: it's enough time to see many of the country's landscapes and cultural attractions. You could choose to focus on the Bolivian highlands, enjoying the colonial charm of Sucre, boating around Lake Titicaca, and driving through the one-of-a-kind Uyuni Salt Flats. Or you could center your trip around exploring indigenous cultures, opting for an itinerary that takes you to the farthest reaches of the Amazon and the Andes. Another option is to combine 10 days in Bolivia with a few more in Chile's Atacama Desert.

How Many Days to Spend in Bolivia

To properly experience Bolivia's diverse ecosystems and rich culture, plan on at least 10 days. In that time, you can visit different regions and tour cities and villages. With five days or a week, it's possible to hit many highlights like the southern salt flats and the Bolivian Amazon. And if you can spare two weeks, go big with an in-depth exploration of indigenous villages and geological sites or a trekking adventure around highland volcanoes and high-altitude lakes.

Best Time of Year to Visit Bolivia

From the Amazon jungle to soaring Andean peaks, Bolivia spans a vast range of elevation and a variety of microclimates and landscapes. Generally speaking, altitude and topography determine variations in local climates, but nationwide a clear-cut distinction between the "winter" dry season and "summer" wet season makes any decision on when to visit fairly simple. Winter brings sapphire skies and cooler temperatures, while in summer, wildflowers bloom, yet fog, clouds, and flooding are common.

We loved our Bolivian trip, it was perfect.
Chilean part was a bit disappointing, as we didn’t realize it’s gonna be every day a half day trip from the hotel. We sort of expected the same customized trip with a small group where we could ask to stop somewhere and spend almost all the time outdoors.
Our first trip in Chile was as boring as possible and on the trip to Puritama Canyon the guide didn’t even speak English.

The guide has a very boring way to explain actually very interesting stories. We were 15 people and you could see that 10 of us were very bored. On each question his answer was at least 15min in Spanish and then 15min in English. And after 2 of these minutes we were just not able to listen any more

The guide didn’t speak english. The tour was supposed to start at 2-2:40. We departed at 3pm and then on our way the car broke. So we had to drive back and change the car and the new one wasn’t a lot better. At the end we departed for Puritama Canyon an hour later so when we arrived to the pools there were the last shades of sun left. 15min later it was completely in shadow.

We didn’t like the orange windows. They change the color perspective, so you can’t really make any photos.

Dear Polina and Federico,
It is good to know you had a good time in Bolivia, as we arranged private tours for you with lots of flexibility. In the Chilean desert, tours were shared with other travelers, so definitely not the same level of flexibility or personalization. I am sad you did not contact me with the issues you were experiencing in Chile, as I could have made some changes. I only found out after the trip.

Dear Polina and Federico,
It is good to know you had a good time in Bolivia, as we arranged private tours for you with lots of flexibility. In the Chilean desert, tours were shared with other travelers, so definitely not the same level of flexibility or personalization. I am sad you did not contact me with the issues you were experiencing in Chile, as I could have made some changes. I only found out after the trip.

In any case, rest assured that we will no longer offer this provider for the stargazing tour and have reached out to the local contact for an explanation of why an English-speaking guide was not available for the tour to the canyon. I thank you for your feedback and wish you both many new adventures to come.

All the best,
Lorena

Camila worked up a varied and comprehensive 16-day trip focused mostly on the altiplano. It was challenge for both of us to arrange a visit to Chipaya Village, a remote indigenous community. She was open to my requests for additions and changes and followed my progress daily while I was in-country. Camila provided probably the most detailed personal service I have ever had from a travel agency. Muchas gracias!
