This was an excellent tour, relatively new to Intrepid. It’s perfect for those who want to see all the natural highlights of Bolivia and end in Chile rather than returning to LaPaz. I saw all that I had hoped and more. Julia our guide was superb. Knowledgeable, organised, caring and a fantastic photographer! She also made a special effort to make sure I had gluten free food at all meals together. There was political upheaval in Bolivia during our trip and many other tours were cancelled but Julia and Intrepid managed it without a hiccup, flying us to Uyuni instead of driving when the roads were closed. The drivers and local guides were all top notch too. Our small group was a nice make up of people too. I highly recommend this tour.Show more

Reply from: Intrepid Travel
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Judith! We're delighted to hear this journey exceeded your expectations and that you were able to experience all the natural highlights you had hoped for, and more. Julia will be so pleased to know the knowledge, organisation and care she brought to your trip made such a lasting impression, and it's fantastic to hear the extra effort she made to accommodate your gluten free dietary requirements helped you feel well looked after throughout your journey. We're also grateful for your understanding during the unexpected disruption in Bolivia. While changes like these are never ideal, the safety and wellbeing of our travellers and local teams will always be our highest priority, and we're pleased our local team were able to adapt the itinerary and keep your adventure on track. Thank you again for your recommendation, Judith. We hope to welcome you on another Intrepid adventure in the future!
