We are looking at Bolivia Discovery and wnat to kow the elevations that seem to be a concern for some people.

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.
