2-Week Bolivia Tour Packages
Think Bolivia deserves extended exploration beyond just the salt flats? It certainly does. Experience La Paz's chaotic altitude and cable cars, Lake Titicaca's islands and Copacabana, and Uyuni salt flats. Try the Death Road by bike if you're brave, Sucre's colonial beauty, and the Amazon jungle near Rurrenabaque. Bolivia's got this raw, unpolished appeal—tourism infrastructure's basic, altitudes are brutal, but the experiences feel authentic.

- 12 Days From the Andean Magnificence to Uyuni Salt Flats: A Journey Through Bolivia
This was an absolutely fabulous tour for someone on a budget. I was a woman traveling alone and felt perfectly safe too. I really enjoyed all the tours and had no problems except one small miscommunication. We went I On a hike to a volcano and I was told it was 3 miles, but it ended up being 10 miles. I had broken my ankle about 6 months before so there were a few problems- but I made it and it was a wonderful hike. Overall completely enjoyed the experience. I would definitely recommend to others.
- Bolivia Discovery
Well organized, a lot of opportunities for extra trips or activities, excellent tour leader helpful and enthusiastic with full knowledge of the subject. Average to good accomodation, but still excellent value for money. Well planned 3 days Salar de Uyuni trip. I would recommend to GA to add more days to the program of the tour for visiting other interesting places of this beautiful country
Tour guide, Liliana did a great job of giving us the best experience throughout Bolivia. Bolivias natural beauty did not disappoint.
