What to do?

What is there to do in Bolivia? Any really fun places to visit? Anything that is worth seeing? Or that is a must see?

Hi triptrop,

We have lots of information about Bolivia. You can start there to read about highlights, customs, food, how to get there, etc...

My favorite places in Bolivia are:

• lake titicaca
• la paz
• salar de uyuni
• sorata
• amazon basin

Best wishes,

Mark

hi mark,
i was wondering if you would be able to recommend the best country to visit the amazon from, a friend of mine went through peru and didnt find it as wild as she was expecting!

Santa Rosa, Bolivia

Hi deec,

The Amazon basin stretches out over a lot of countries in South America. To see an abundance of wildlife I can highly recommend taking a tour in Rurrenabaque in Bolivia. The tour operator will drive from there to Santa Rosa. In Santa Rosa you will embark on a motorized canoe and tour for 3 days. I myself went straight to Santa Rosa and stayed there for 3 weeks hanging out with locals (what beautiful times those were!).

From Santa Rosa I went to Trinidad and cruised with a river boat for 7 days to the border of Brazil (the only gringo on board).

I've heard some good things about the Pantanal in Brazil. Although I've been in the area I didn't take a tour myself.

For the Amazon river the city of Manaus in Brazil is the place to be to shop for a tour. I'll add a page of the Amazon river soon.

Let me know if something else is bugging you!

Best wishes,

Mark
