7-Day Bolivia Tour Packages
Seven days in Bolivia hits La Paz cables and markets, Uyuni Salt Flats, Titicaca’s floating islands, Sucre. You’ll need to adjust to the altitude in La Paz, but it’s worth it. Bolivia is cheaper than Peru, less touristic, and more raw, allowing you to get a more authentic and deeper experience that you’ll want to have again and again.

7 Day Bolivia Itinerary, incl. La Paz and Uyuni Salt Flats
La Paz, Uyuni, and Eduardo Avaroa Reserve showcase their finest in 7 days. The UNESCO site of Tiwanaku, Siloli Desert, and Laguna Colorada's flamingos create unforgettable memories. Four-star hotels complement 13 included meals and private transport.
- Day 1
La Paz Arrival & Acclimatization
You'll land at El Alto International Airport, about 25 minutes from central La Paz. Take it slow today at 11,500 feet elevation. The Sopocachi neighborhood makes a good base with its restaurants and walkable streets. Stick to coca tea and skip alcohol for the first 24 hours.
- Day 2
La Paz City Exploration
Visit the Basilica de San Francisco first. The Mi Teleférico cable car system will take you to Mirador Killi Killi. Go before noon to catch clear mountain views. Spend your afternoon at the Witches' Market (Mercado de las Brujas). Remember the steep streets can be tough at this altitude. Take breaks when you need them and drink plenty of water.
- Day 3
Uyuni Salt Flats
Book a morning flight to Uyuni (50 minutes) when the winds are calmest. Start at the Train Cemetery before it gets too hot. The salt flats come next, with Isla Incahuasi best visited in the afternoon for photos. The salt reflects intensely so pack sunglasses and strong sunscreen.
- Day 4
Eduardo Avaroa Reserve
Get ready for a long day with a 3.5-hour drive to Chiguana Desert. The roads are rough but you'll be rewarded with lagoons full of flamingos. Bring motion sickness pills if you need them. Pack layers as desert temperatures can change by 40°F from morning to midday.
- Day 5
Sol de Mañana & Green Lagoon
Start early for the Sol de Mañana geysers. Bring plenty of warm clothes as it's often below freezing before dawn. You can warm up in the hot springs afterward. A short drive takes you to Salvador Dali Desert and Laguna Verde. Head back to Uyuni to sleep.
- Day 6
Tiwanaku Ruins
Fly back to La Paz and head to Tiwanaku, a UNESCO site. You'll need 2-3 hours to see the ruins properly. The site spreads out at high altitude so walk at your own pace. Plan to photograph the stone faces and Gateway of the Sun in the afternoon light.
- Day 7
Departure
Book your flight for late morning or afternoon to avoid the heavy morning traffic between La Paz and El Alto airport.

What people love about 7-day Bolivia tours
- Overland San Pedro de Atacama to Uyuni and La Paz (6 Nights) (from Calama to La Paz)
Unfortunately, I didn't receive the link for immigration, and there was no way to withdraw Bolivian currency (it should have been stated at the Booking Confirmation that you can and must exchange money for Bolivian currency in San Pedro at a money exchange). My tour guide therefore had to lend me the money until we arrived in Uyuni! The hostel in San Pedro Aji Verde was very nice, but there were too many beds in the rooms (no room for backpacks; they were all on the floor, and you had to climb over them!) the hostel in Villa Mar the bed was Horrible to sleep like a hammock! salt hotel was great
- 5 Days Uyuni Salt Flats and Colorfull Lagoons from La Paz, Bolivia
We covered a lot of territory and the guide was informative, explaining what we were seeing and how it formed. He was very personable and accommodating. The altiplano hostels, that were in areas that reached -5 to -7C, had no heat or hot water and travelers should be advised to bring their own towels and some toilet paper along with their personal supplies. Overall however, I thought is was well worth what I paid for it and it was definitely a worthwhile experience. The tour company took very good care of me, meeting me and taking me to each destination. I especially appreciated the hotel room in Uyuni that was provided before and after the tour. It was very comfortable, and after the tour a shower was sorely needed!
- Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 5D/4N (La Paz to La Paz)
The trip itself and the guides were great. The communication in advance of the trip could’ve been clearer as I wasn’t informed of the correct service provider and went to the wrong company when o arrived in uyuni and the only I reason I saw the taxi provider and tour providers names was because of the tiny link on the page when I clicked the link on the email, this could be clearer in a separate email.
