Bolivia

Llama

Land locked and remote, the ‘Tibet of the Americas’ is an awesome place. As diverse in landscapes as it is indigineous people, Bolivia has alot to offer the traveller.

From the stunning salt flats of Uyuni, to the mighty Amazon Basin and Lake Titicaca on the border with Peru, we absolutely love this country.

When to go

The best time to visit Bolivia in during the Winter months (May to Ocotber), with August being the busiest month.  The Summer months can be pretty wet and make land travel a little difficult, as a result though these months see less crowds.

What to do

Some great off the beaten track adventures exist in Bolivia,  as well as cultural tours and jungle escapes – take your pick… Our favourites include La Paz, the floating reed islands of Lake Titicaca and the stunning scenery of the Cordillera Real.  Check out our ideas page for more info.

Language

The official language of Bolivia is Spanish, with some other indigenous languages such as Aymara and Quechua also spoken.

Money

The Bolivano (Bs) is the currency of Bolivia, with banks and ‘casa de cambios’ able to change foreign currency and travellers cheques.
