Bolivia Tours for Solo Travelers
If you're traveling solo, you'll find great company on our Bolivia Highlights expedition - most groups stay small around 10 people, which makes it easy to get to know everyone. Our past guests often tell us how much they value having local guides to help navigate La Paz's busy street markets and make connections in rural communities. Another solid option is the 11-day Bolivia Discovery route where you'll sleep in unique salt-brick rooms and have plenty of free time to wander Sucre's historic center. The shared experiences like capturing salt flat photos and dining at local spots really help people connect, according to recent travelers. For a shorter trip, our 5-day Uyuni tour takes care of all the logistics which solo travelers appreciate, especially in those remote desert areas where planning can be tricky.

What people love about touring Bolivia solo
We had an absolute blast on this tour. We got to see so many incredible places in Bolivia! From the stunning salt flats of Uyuni, to the Spanish colonialism of Sucre, to the breathtaking expanse of Titicaca. Highly recommend! At every stop the guides were local, passionate, knowledgeable and dedicated to making sure it was a positive experience. Each of them went out of their way to make it special for us. Furthermore, the coordination (which is crucial for a trip of this many stops) was excellent. All transfers arrived on time, all vehicles were comfortable and modern, and even when we requested changes, the company was flexible and adapted the itinerary accordingly. We’re leaving with incredibly fond memories - thanks guys!
Bolivia - Villazón, Uyuni, Potosí, Sucre, La Paz & Copacabana- 8 days
- Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 3D/2N (Uyuni to Uyuni)
My flight tickets had been sent to me well ahead of time. My driver met me at the hotel and took me to the airport, a driver was waiting for me in Uyuni, and the tour was waiting for me to get started. The tour covered everything in the itinerary and we had perfect conditions for the Salt Flats. We stayed in hostels and the one was as bare minimum as you could get. No electricity, no running water, no wifi but they did have a lovely hot spring to soak in. Nothing wrong with going off the grid although the workers at that hostel were horrible and angry and very negative towards us (it was very odd).
- Bolivia Highlights
This was a once in a lifetime tour - you get to see the very best of Bolivia and the stunning landscapes it has to offer. Be prepared for long travel days, and prepare yourself for the altitude sickness as it can get pretty tough - I would advise to start in Peru, or a lower altitude country to acclimatise for a few days first. It would have been great if the tour started in Sucre and ended in La Paz, as this would have been a better route to acclimatise. Henri, our Intrepid tour guide was amazing, he put effort into the care and safety of the group and fun to be around!
