Enjoy a hearty breakfast at your hotel ready for this morning’s half-day city tour of La Paz, including a visit to Moon Valley and chance to take the Teleferico. Beneath the majestic Illimani mountain, La Paz is a chaotic carnival of color and noise, where indigenous, colonial and modern worlds meet and new adventures lurk around every street corner. Explore the local landmarks of its historic center, taking in the bustling squares, palaces and cathedrals, not to mention the mysterious Witches’ Market. Later, visit the lunar landscape of the nearby Moon Valley – a nickname given by Neil Armstrong himself in 1969 when he came to La Paz after the region reminded him of his famous moonwalk – and admire its colossal clay spires steeped in legend.

For the finale, you’ll hop aboard the city’s towering Teleferico for a sky-ride between the depths of Zona Sur to the heights of El Alto, and enjoy the incredible views that only the world’s longest and highest cable-car can afford. The afternoon is yours to spent at your leisure, a chance to rest up after the morning’s exertions or for the adventurous to discover the city’s hidden treasures. Why not head out in search of the House of Congress’ backwards clock, paying homage to Bolivia’s indigenous heritage, or the ‘hidden’ works of famous architect Eiffel in the form of the bus station and Museum of Contemporary Art.

Day three allows you to explore Bolivia’s largest lake, Lake Titicaca, by deluxe hydrofoil, but to your own itinerary. After your drive from La Paz out to the city of Huatajata, where your vessel awaits, onboard experts will be on hand to help you create your own exclusive Titicaca program. Why not explore both the Moon and Sun Islands, home to various religious sites, including Inaq Uyu, the House of the Virgins of the Sun, which is on Moon Island.

There are other historical sites on La Isla Del Sol (Sun Island), including the Sacred Fountain and the Inca Great Staircase. At the fountain, you can see if the legends are true that drinking from it will give you everlasting youth and vitality. Since Sun Island is the largest in the lake, you can spend most of your day here and still not see everything. The north side of the island has many sites to visit.

Since you’ll be on a private tour, you can explore as much of the lake and its islands as you like. You will also receive a gourmet picnic lunch during your trip, which you can enjoy at the water’s edge, or anywhere else you’d like! Once you’re day’s discovery is done, you’ll head back to La Paz to your chosen hotel.

After breakfast in La Paz, you’ll be taken to the airport for your flight to Uyuni. Visit the Uyuni Salt Flats and Incahuasi Island. Uyuni, located on the Bolivian Andean Altiplano, is the largest salt flat on Earth covering an astonishing 10,500 sq km, and offers some of the most stunning scenery imaginable that can’t be seen anywhere else. The sound of silence makes the heart beat faster, and the pentagonal canvas of crystalline salt, dotted with cacti and balletic flamingos set against a pure sky will make for one of the most memorable moments of your lifetime.

You’ll enjoy a picnic lunch at the island oasis of Incahuasi, surrounded by its astonishing algae and fossil formations. It is covered in thousands of giant columnar cacti, some more than a hundred years old and over 12 meters tall. The landscape against the background of the salt pans extending to the horizon makes it an ideal place for photography hunters. Your guide will help you take surrealistic photos due to the optical effect of the Salt Flats before returning to your hotel.
