8 Days in Bolivia: Our trip to Bolivia was very well organized and went according to plan. Camila was able to accommodate our requests in the planning stages and answered all of our questions prior to departure. We appreciated having names and What’s App numbers for our guides and drivers. Our guide in Uyuni, Liroy, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He made sure we had all of the best photo opportunities in the salt flats, and our driver did a great job of organizing and setting up our lunches during the 3 day tour. The landscapes in the areas explored were incredible. Our last day was scheduled to be quite a long day, so we requested to scale back the number of sites planned. Our guide in La Paz and Lake Titicaca was David, who shared his expertise and love of his culture through the historic sites, traditional foods and music of Bolivia. He was generous with his time and ensured that we had a terrific experience throughout the 3 days spent together.
Hotel Reviews
La Casona is conveniently located in La Paz, and close to the Witches’ Market and shops. Staff were helpful and courteous and the view from the breakfast room on the 6th floor was beautiful. The rooms were clean and comfortable.
An interesting experience!
The hotel was in a quiet location, just outside of the town.
Great hotel in Uyuni. We enjoyed our meals in the hotel.
Beautifully located with views of the harbour and lake.
Activity Reviews
More interesting landscapes - we especially enjoyed the unexpected rock formations which we toured at the end of the day.
We were met at the airport on time and delivered to our hotel as per the itinerary. Staff were helpful and friendly.
We loved spending the day in the Slat Flats - it was a beautiful, white landscape, with many surprising features. Sunset was a picturesque finish to the day.
The excursion today was expected to take about 14 hours, given some of the slow and bumpy road conditions in the south. My husband was not feeling well, so we visited the flamingoes in the lagoons, and skipped the green and red lagoons and geysers. This still took about 7 hours. I think the days are not balanced in terms of drive time - day 2 seemed lighter and day 3 too long. I would suggest a different mix of hotels to allow drivers to reach the south in a more reasonable time.
David, our guide, and Sergio, our driver, met us at La Paz airport and then on to Copacabana. David was very informative and eager to answer all of our questions.
We enjoyed a scenic and culturally informative trip to the islands.
David did an amazing job of sharing the best of La Paz. We loved the gondola rides over the city, and the walk through the historic old town. David’s English is excellent. We enjoyed learning about the people of Bolivia and their traditions and beliefs. We even added a stop for some specialty coffee at HB Bronze in La Paz.
