Best time to visit

The dry season from May to October generally makes altiplano travel easier. Summer rain can create Uyuni’s mirror effect, although it also changes routes and journey times.

Weather and packing

Much of the route lies at high altitude, with strong sunshine, wind and cold nights. Acclimatise gradually, stay hydrated and carry layered thermal clothing.

Planning your visit

Seven to ten days allow La Paz, Titicaca and Uyuni. Add more time for Sucre, Potosí or other regions because overland journeys are long. La Paz and Santa Cruz handle major air connections. Buses and selected trains link cities and borders; check immigration documents before combining Bolivia with Peru or Chile.
