  Altitue is definetely something to consider in the itinerary. During the trip you will visit La Paz, Uyuni, and San Pedro de Atacama, which are all located at high altitude, but with a progressive flow designed for acclimatization:
  
  La Paz: approx. 3,600 m / 11,800 ft
  Uyuni & surrounding altiplano: between 3,600 and 4,200 m / 11,800–13,800 ft, with some short visits slightly higher
  San Pedro de Atacama: approx. 2,400 m / 7,900 ft, noticeably lower and generally easier on the body
  
  The itinerary is planned to allow time to adapt, and most travelers handle the altitude well by staying hydrated, taking it easy during the first days, and avoiding strenuous activity early on. Of course, everyone reacts differently to altitude.
