Welcome to La Paz, Bolivia! We'll greet you at El Alto International Airport in La Paz and transfer you to your hotel. Once you are settled, we'll share a cup of coca tea and go over your program, answer questions and share knowledge about Bolivia. We recommend that you take it easy today since there is 50% less oxygen in the air than at sea level. Acclimatization is essential to enjoying yourselves.
Today, you will take the famous "Mi Teleférico" cable car system up to El Alto, one of La Paz' suburbs. Then, you'll “trek” your way down to the center of La Paz. You will take to the streets like a local during the 4-hour descent through markets, neighborhoods, plazas, and alleyways. After reaching El Alto—at a dizzying 13, 615ft (4,000m) above sea level, one of the highest cities in the world!— prepare to be dazzled by the views of the Andes and the sights of La Paz as you walk down through the “Hanging Neighborhoods” that surround the city. To top it off, you will take a micro or local bus (think oldie Bluebird school buses painted a rainbow of colors) to the heart of the markets area. Here, you’ll be able to shop around and go to different markets, including the famous Witch’s Market. You'll have the afternoon free to rest or explore more of the city at night.

Ready for the World's Most Dangerous Road? Actually, it is much less dangerous than before as very few cars use it nowadays, making it a great destination for mountain biking.
Today we head out of La Paz en route to the Yungas Cloud Forest region. To get there, we climb to the highest point of our adventure La Cumbre (4300 masl) and begin the descent down the steep slopes of the eastern Andes, where the climate is humid and the mountainsides are covered in the cloud forest.
You will (very safely) descend from the cordillera on a mountain bike along the so-called "Death Road" that winds its way down toward the provincial capital Coroico. After having a typical "Yungeño" lunch, we'll back to La Paz for a well-deserved rest.

It's an early start today as you head to El Alto International Airport for a 60-minute flight to the southern town of Uyuni—the gateway to the Uyuni Salt Flats and Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve. You'll be picked up from the airport, and the journey will begin with a short visit to the famed train cemetery, which is full of rusting train cars that were once used to transport minerals and people to and from Uyuni. You'll then continue to the salt-harvesting village of Colchani to see how locals harvest and produce salt. After this, you will reach the vast Uyuni Salt Flats. Visit the bizarre Incahuasi Island, covered in enormous cacti, and enjoy amazing views of the flats.
Enjoy a beautiful sunset in the middle of the endless expanse of glittering salt before returning to Colchani.
Rainy season: from November to April, Uyuni Salt flats are flooded and the access to Tahua or Incahuasi might be difficult or impossible. The program might have to be changed due to these reasons.

Enjoy lunch next to one of the region’s multi-colored lagoons. Then, you'll continue to Siloli Desert, and finish with a visit to the red-colored Laguna Colorada before heading to your accommodation for a well-earned rest.
