We're so happy to annouce a trip to Bolivia in partnership with Inspired Ventures! 

Bolivia has a super diverse environment, a deep, colourful and fascinating culture, and the sense of embarking on an adventure that takes us well off the beaten track. 

Our trip will be focused on photography, but everyone is welcome, regardless of photography level, age, equipment or physical condition. On this expedition, we intend to pass on all our photographic knowledge to the participants, from planning a photo to the final editing (and much more!). 

There will be 10 days of photographic experiences in different landscape and light conditions, in addition to part of our time being dedicated to theory and post-editing. The group will be 12-14 people and all routes and tours will be done in a private car with a guide.

Bolivia is a South American country with incredibly varied terrain spanning across the Andes Mountain Range, the Atacama Desert and the Amazon Rainforest. The culture is bright, colourful and festive; it is also home to the highest percentage of indigenous people, therefore community-based tourism is popular and offers the best experiences with rich traditions.

La Paz is Bolivia’s capital and located at a whopping 3500 meters above sea level, making it the highest capital city in the world. Highlights and favourites of Bolivia are the Uyuni salt flats, the small town of Copacabana and the Islands of the Sun and Moon, with ancient history dating back to the Inca time period. Other top destinations are Lake Titicaca, the town of Potosi in the southern highlands, and Santa Cruz to the south. Wildlife in Bolivia is so biodiverse, species are still being discovered to this day. Thanks to the lush Amazon and mix of rugged terrains, the wildlife is rare and exotic. 

Visit such iconic destinations as the Uyuni salt flat, the Bolivian Highlands, and the bustling city of La Paz. Other popular places to visit include Lake Titicaca, the town of Potosi in the southern highlands, and Santa Cruz to the south.  

Wildlife enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice in Bolivia – there is great biodiversity, with new species still being discovered to this day. Encounter the unforgettable lush Amazon, with its mix of rugged terrains and spectacular rare wildlife.

Once everyone has arrived at El Alto International Airport, in La Paz we will transfer to our first hotel of the adventure. If you arriving before the 20th of March we will meet at the hotel on this date. 

We recommend you fly in a day or two earlier and overnight at the same hotel as we're staying in to acclimatise better to the altitude.

La Paz will be our base for the next 3 days.

After lunch we will spend the first afternoon on a city tour of La Paz. We wll take in the architecture, diverse people, food, and even a witches' market - a paradise for street photography. Color and flavor are the order of the day, with something to excite our senses around every unearthed corner. We will explore the city on foot and from the skies, by cable car to get a bird's eye view, while soaking up the magical Kili Kili sunset.

Meals Included: Lunch & Welcome Dinner

Hotel: Met La Paz

Our first sunrise of the trip. The southernmost reaches of La Paz beckon, bringing us to a small lagoon, where we will descend into the mythical Valle de las Ánimas – a location that will have you in awe of Mother Nature's raw power, a big highlight of our trip. 

After that, we'll head to a special place for breakfast and then we'll visit Valle de las Lunas, named for its bizarre, lunar-like landscapes and strange geological formations.

Sunset is free - we can potentially edit or go somewhere to photograph.

Riding a bike certainly gives one a wonderful sense of freedom, and although the route we'll take has an ominous-sounding name, the Biking Death Route promises you the ride of your life! 

Our bus will bring us to our starting point – La Cumbre (4,760 m) - where we will be outfitted with bikes and relevant gear.

After 22 km of asphalt and unimaginable views, we arrive at a Police Checkpoint, after which we get going again on the awe-inspiring dirt and gravel road with its magnificent drops and sharp corners. We finish at Yolosa, where a cold beer awaits, as well as a very tasty lunch. Freshen up in the showers before we head back to our hotel in La Paz.

This will be a full-day activity.

We will wake up early to catch a flight to Uyuni and start our Highland Expedition right away. 

We'll chase sunrise, sunsets, and the stars in this incredible location that is a canvas for imagination.

Located in the Bolivian altiplano, high in the Andes, the Uyuni salt flats will enchant you, as its white ground, contrasting with the bluest of skies, stretches before you, as far as your eye can see.

When there is just a bit of water on the ground, you will feel like you are flying, while driving across a seemingly eternal, flat plain. If the conditions allow, we'll visit Cactus Island and Volcano Tunipa.

The clear Uyuni sky makes it perfect for stargazing. Our night-time tour of the salt flats will enchant us beneath a glittering starscape. Thanks to the pristine environment and high altitude, the stars and Milky Way appear brighter than anywhere else. 

The Salar becomes a constellation of its own after dark, as the salt crystals glint with myriad sparkles just like above. 

Meals Included: Breakfast, Packed Lunch & Dinner

Hotel: Palacio de Sal.

We'll start early today with a sunrise visit to the salt flats to capture one last look at the alien landscape. 

We will then travel to the hotel in Polques to enjoy a delicious breakfast. 

Meals Included: Breakfast, Packed Lunch & Dinner

Hotel: Polques Lodge

Even more watery vistas await, with a visit to the brilliantly-hued Green, White, and Red lagoons – these salt lakes are so named thanks to the colours caused by the mineral suspensions in their waters. 

We'll see the Dali Desert - a scenic, barren wilderness named after the Spanish surrealist painter, Salvador Dali. Once you set foot here, you'll understand why – the landscape recalls his bizarre art!

We'll also visit Siloli and the Polques thermals!

Meals Included: Breakfast, Packed Lunch & Dinner

In 4x4s, we embark on our journey to the Eduardo Avaroa National Park.

We'll have plenty of stops along the way before continuing south to the Katal and Vinto lagoons and Rock Valley.

We'll overnight in Uyuni and have the last sunset in the salt flats.

Meals Included: Breakfast & Lunch

Hotel: Samay Wasi

After a final sunrise, we'll drive back to La Paz.

The journey will take a while but the scenery is amazing, as we'll see the landscape changing all the time, big mountains and quinoa fields.

In La Paz we'll have our last dinner together!

Meals Included: Breakfast

Hotel: Met La Paz.

After a big day, we have the right to rest a bit, since we are on vacation after all :)

We can explore La Paz, enjoy the hotel facilities, and sit down to edit and chat about anything related to photography, content creation, business, etc.
