Bolivia expedition sample itinerary

Some possible expedition objectives are given below, please note these may alter between now and your expedition. The Expedition Program Manager for Bolivia will agree a suitable expedition itinerary for you, to best match the abilities and aspirations of your team.

Acclimatisation
There are several day treks near La Paz and around Lake Titicaca which enable the team to acclimatise properly before commencing the main trekking phase. Alternatively, from Santa Cruz, the team can head to the village of Samaipata, which is a great starting point to explore Amboro National Park.

Trekking
The trekking possibilities in Bolivia are unrivalled in South America. Teams may choose to complete a high altitude trek traversing great ranges or to walk along one of the old Inca Trails. They may decide to tackle a trek that starts off in the high Altiplano before dropping down into the fertile valleys of the Yungas.

Project
Projects could include working in rural schools in Samaipata near Santa Cruz, or undertaking basic construction work in orphanages and street children centres in and around the capital La Paz.

R&R
After a fairly exhausting itinerary there are a number of options for a period of rest and relaxation and a chance to see some of Bolivia's more unusual sights. From Lake Titicaca, which is the highest navigable lake in the world, you can explore the Island of the Sun, which is where the Incas believe their empire originated. In the South, a tour of the Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat, is an amazing and eerie experience.
