Bolivia is incredibly diverse, multicultural and extremely beautiful. If you’re after adventure, you’ll certainly find it here whether to tackle Death Road on mountain bike or explore the untouched provinces. Lake Titicaca is also a must but if you’re here for shopping the silver in Potosi will certainly delight.
Death Road: Are you a thrill-seeker? Take a mountain bike tour from La Cumbre to Coroico. It’s a 64km trail and extremely narrow on the old section of the North Yungas Road.
Tiwanaku: If it’s ancient ruins you’re after, look no further than Tiwanaku. You’ll find pre-Inca ruins here in the Bolivian highlands. The area is an UNESCO site surrounded by glorious mountains and Lake Titicaca not too far away.
Potosi: With silver mines a plenty, Potosi was once one of the wealthiest cities in the world. Today it’s a great city for buying unique silver jewellery and handcrafts. Don’t miss the National Mint Museum.
