The guide was very professional and great, but there was no heat and no electricity sometimes in the hotel that made the experiences bad.

Unu Raymi Expeditions was extremely helpful, quick to respond, and super accommodating when I needed to adjust my plans due to personal reasons. Their customer service was excellent, and they promptly addressed any concerns I raised. However, the execution of the tours was not as smooth as I had hoped. Since the operator is not based locally, there was significant miscommunication with the local agents. Contacts kept changing, which left me uncertain about who to reach out to at times. Some of the local agents seemed disorganized, with instances of trying to charge extra, not fully adhering to the tour’s terms, and even shortening some of the activities. While the main operator was fantastic in resolving these issues when I raised them, the overall experience could have been much better with a more reliable local team.

Beautiful landscapes! Negativ: we slept in threebedrooms with no windows towards outside - in high altitude - 3800-4200m ! Lack of Oxygen! But after all it was an unforgetable experience!

Best tour companies for Bolivia tours
Intrepid Travel really stands out for keeping their groups small, which makes a huge difference in how you experience places. When you're not moving around as part of a big crowd, you get to actually chat with locals and slip into smaller restaurants and spots that bigger groups just can't access. Their guide Gonzalo gets mentioned a lot in TourRadar reviews - he's got this deep knowledge of the areas and goes out of his way to help everyone in the group feel comfortable. Bamba's also getting good marks from travelers for putting together solid itineraries and their food stops are spot on. Their guides know their stuff and really help bring places to life. That said, a few of our travelers have hit some bumps with flight arrangements and getting clear updates about their bookings. It's worth noting these communication hiccups since they've come up more than once in recent feedback. When you stack them up, Intrepid seems to have the edge on the personal touch and smoother operations, but Bamba's definitely got their strong points too, especially when it comes to their food choices and local expertise.
Best places to start your Bolivia tour
When you're mapping out your Bolivia trip, La Paz is your main jumping-off point with 49 different tours starting there. Uyuni town offers 15 departure options and Santa Cruz has 11 different tours, while Tupiza and San Pedro de Atacama in Chile each run 4 departures. Book about 2 months ahead - our data shows 58 days is the sweet spot, especially since salt flat tours fill up fast in peak season. Our past travelers really stress taking 2-3 days in La Paz first to get used to the altitude. Many find it works well to mix their salt flats visit with time exploring La Paz's local markets and indigenous communities - it adds real cultural depth to the trip. The city's cable car network isn't just practical transport; you'll get amazing mountain views that make it a genuine highlight of your time there.

Winter trips from May through August really shine when you combine Salar de Uyuni with La Paz discoveries. The salt flats stay dry and clear - exactly what you want for great photos and nature watching. Our top-rated tours head to the geysers first thing in the morning when they're most active and include relaxing stops at thermal springs. Travelers love staying in the salt hotels during winter, telling us how the crisp night skies make for incredible stargazing. The cool mountain air this time of year works perfectly for exploring Tiwanaku ruins, La Paz's busy markets and colonial architecture without getting tired.

Spring touring kicks off nicely between September and November, with our popular 10-12 day routes from La Paz letting you see the salt flats before the busy season hits. You'll catch the flamingos gathering at Laguna Colorada too. The Chataquila trek near Sucre is at its best now - our travelers love the mild weather and valleys full of flowers. Many routes spend extra time in Potosí during spring, perfect for exploring silver mine history and colonial churches without summer heat. The weather's also just right for mixing Death Road cycling with visits to local indigenous markets.

What's the Best Time to Visit Bolivia?
The dry season from May through October is your sweet spot for exploring Bolivia with clear skies and really comfortable temperatures. It's perfect if you want to check out the Salar de Uyuni and Altiplano regions but pack some warm stuff because nights up in the high altitude areas above 3600m can get pretty chilly even in the dry season. During wet season November to April the salt flats transform into this incredible mirror effect that reflects the sky it's absolutely stunning but keep in mind some routes might be flooded and tough to access. The temperatures hover around 86°F or 30°C in the dry season which is just about perfect for most travelers. If you're heading to the Andes or Amazon you'll want to look up specific weather patterns because these areas have their own microclimates.
What Can You Experience of Local Life and Traditions?
You'll find some amazing cultural experiences in Bolivia starting with La Paz's Witches' Market where locals sell traditional remedies and handicrafts it's pretty fascinating stuff. The Sunday market in Tarabuco is a must-see our TourRadar customers always rave about it especially for the incredible Aymara weaving traditions. Over on Lake Titicaca's Isla del Sol you can dive into ancient Inca culture checking out the Inca Steps and Fountain of Youth. For a really authentic experience try staying with local communities or at the Jukil Community lodge. The 12-Day Bolivia Andes Hiking and Amazon Expedition lets you get really close to local life in some pretty remote communities.
What Natural Areas Can You Visit Outside the Cities?
The Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna Reserve is absolutely incredible you'll need a 4x4 to get there from Uyuni but it's worth it for the colored lagoons flamingos and Siloli Desert. Madidi National Park in the Amazon is a biodiversity paradise you can get there by flying into Rurrenabaque then taking a boat trip. If you're into mountain adventures the Cordillera Real range with peaks like Huayna Potosi is accessible from La Paz through organized treks. The Best of BoliviLa Paz to Uyuni tour takes you through some amazing spots including the Siloli Desert and the stunning Red Lake Laguna Colorada.
How Do You Get Around Bolivia?
Getting around Bolivia is pretty straightforward local buses connect all the major cities they run frequently but comfort levels can vary. For longer trips you might want to grab an overnight tourist bus with reclining seats it's much more comfortable. The Best of BoliviLa Paz to Uyuni tour uses these overnight buses which works really well. If you're short on time domestic flights between places like La Paz Sucre Uyuni and Santa Cruz are super convenient La Paz to Uyuni is just a quick 40-minute hop. In La Paz don't miss riding the Mi Teleférico cable car system it's not just transport it's an experience with amazing views. Around town you've got plenty of taxis and micros these little minibuses to get you where you need to go.
Which Festivals Should You Try to Experience?
Bolivia's festivals are incredible the Tarabuco Festival in March is this amazing celebration of indigenous culture with traditional music dance and crafts you won't want to miss it. The Oruro Carnival is absolutely spectacular it's actually UNESCO recognized and happens in February or March with these amazing costumes and parades. January brings the Alasitas Festival to La Paz where everyone buys miniatures for good luck it's pretty unique. Then there's the Tinku festival in Potosí usually in May where indigenous communities take part in ritual combat it sounds intense but it's all about renewal and fertility.
