Top 6 Other Worldly Destinations in Bolivia
1. Bolivia - South Central Bolivia & the Chaco (Chapter)
Generally seen by travelers as a way station to several international borders, this region of southern Bolivia sees relatively few tourists. The culture gravitates towards neighboring Argentina and dreams of being closer to faraway Andalucía.
2. Bolivia - Southern Altiplano (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
Stretching southwards from La Paz, this bleak high-plains wilderness is framed by majestic volcanic peaks, endless kilometers of treeless stubble and the white emptiness of the eerie salares (salt deserts), which are almost devoid of life. Expect spectacular stargazing!
This tropical region, the country’s most prosperous, has a palpable desire to differentiate itself from Bolivia’s traditional highland image. The region’s agriculture boom in recent years brought about a rise in income and a standard of living unequalled by any other Bolivian province.
4. Bolivia - La Paz & Around (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
A maze of lung-busting inclines and constant contradictions, a mad carnival of jostling pedestrians, honking minivans, strident street marches and raucous street vendors, La Paz surrounds you: you’ll love it, you’ll hate it, but you can’t ignore it.
5. Bolivia - The Cordilleras & Yungas (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
Caught between the Andes and the Amazon, this rugged transition zone has just about everything you could ask for from your Bolivian adventure, including treks into the past along preserved Inca trails, wildlife-watching aplenty and a pervading air of hard-won tranquility.
6. Bolivia - Lake Titicaca (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
A visit to the world’s largest high-altitude lake feels like a journey to the top of the world. Everything – and everyone – that sits beside this impressive body of water, from the traditional Aymará villages to the glacier-capped peaks of the Cordillera Real, seems to fall into the background as the singularity, power and sheer gravity of the lake draws all eyes.
