Bolivia is one of South America’s most culturally rich and geographically varied countries, known for its dramatic high-altitude landscapes, vibrant indigenous heritage, and remote wilderness. From the vast salt flats of the Altiplano to the dense Amazon rainforest, Bolivia offers an authentic and less-travelled adventure experience.

Our expeditions in Bolivia focus on exploration, cultural immersion, and active travel. Activities may include trekking, wildlife observation, cultural visits, and overland journeys through remote regions. You’ll explore high mountain plateaus, colonial cities, colourful markets, and traditional communities, gaining insight into Bolivia’s strong indigenous identity and diverse ecosystems.

Many of our Bolivia trips are successfully combined with neighbouring countries such as Chile or Peru, allowing travellers to experience contrasting landscapes across the Andes and beyond. Highlights often include the Salar de Uyuni, Lake Titicaca, the Amazon Basin, and historic cities such as La Paz and Sucre.

Geography

Bolivia is a landlocked country located in central South America, bordered by Brazil to the north and east, Peru and Chile to the west, Argentina to the south, and Paraguay to the southeast. Despite lacking a coastline, Bolivia features remarkable geographic diversity.

The country is divided into three main regions: the Andean highlands and Altiplano in the west, the temperate valleys in the centre, and the lowland plains and Amazon rainforest in the east. Bolivia is home to some of the highest navigable lakes in the world, including Lake Titicaca, and features dramatic mountain ranges, salt flats, wetlands, and tropical forests.

Government & Economy

Bolivia has a developing economy largely based on natural resources. Key sectors include natural gas and petroleum, mining (particularly tin, silver, and lithium), agriculture, and manufacturing. Tourism plays an increasingly important role, especially in regions known for cultural heritage and natural landmarks.

Language

Bolivia has multiple official languages, with Spanish being the most widely spoken. Indigenous languages such as Quechua, Aymara, and Guaraní are also commonly used, reflecting the country’s strong indigenous heritage.
