What people love about touring Bolivia solo
- 10 Days Bolivian Multicultural Highlights
Perfect. MABEL was a very experienced tour guide.
- 12 Days From the Andean Magnificence to Uyuni Salt Flats: A Journey Through Bolivia
The tour was very comprehensive, it had hikes, snorkeling, vistits at research centers, and beaches. Reliable and knowledgeable guides kept us entertained and informed about the history, geology, biology of the sites. On our free time we visited the local beach where it's possible to rent kayaks and paddle around the mangroves and turtles. The accommodation was impeccable and gave us free fruit and drinking water, as much as we needed. Also, the tour manager went out of his way, literally in person, to come and rescue us when we needed assistance, and kept in touch with us all the way to make sure that we were having a good time.
Tour guide, Liliana did a great job of giving us the best experience throughout Bolivia. Bolivias natural beauty did not disappoint.
