OVERVIEW

Arrival to La Paz the main city in Bolivia. City tour visiting the most interesting places in La Paz, typical places like the Witches Market, artisanal markets, the colonial calle Jaén with its impressive, residential areas of the south and the well known Moon Valley , where erosion has given place to the most exotic and curious surface forms.

Next day, excursion to
Tiwanaku archaeological place. It was the center of a powerful, self-sustaining empire. The roots of the Tiahuanaco capital can be found in the early village underlying the 1.5-square-mile civic-ceremonial core. The city was settled by 400 B. C. on the Tiahuanaco River, which empties into Lake Titicaca 9.3 miles to the north. The small farming village evolved into a regal city of multi-terraced platform pyramids, courts and urban areas, covering a total 2.31 square miles.

Traditionally it is thought to have been built by the predecessors of the Inca Civilization over 2,000 years ago. It is a mysterious ruined city of extremely ancient origins.

Starting in La Paz the tour heads to the Uyuni Salt Fields the world's largest salt flat. Salar de Uyuni is also the breeding grounds for three species of South American flamingos. Highlights include the Red and Green Lagoon, a salt hotel and some so-called islands.

The trip continues to Potosí famous for the rich silver mountain, where now mines are still exploited as in the colonial times. Sucre the official capital of Bolivia, has much to offer to the visitor.

Tarabuco (72 Km from Sucre) is best known as the home of the Yampara culture. Each Sunday, a colorful and vibrant open-air market attracts locals and tourists alike. Many people wear traditional Yampara costumes, which not only preserve their identity but also advertise their location of origin. In a country filled with lively, colorful, and character-filled markets, Tarabuco may be one of the best. Thirty minutes further down the road you’ll find the Hacienda La Candelaria which is always an experience to visit.

Then a flight will take you to Rurrenabaque, the town where the 4 day tour to
CHALALAN in the Madidi National Park starts.

Madidi is one of the most biologically diverse protected areas on the planet. The park is home to over 1,000 bird species, representing a whopping 11% of the world’s 9,000 bird species.

The ecolodge CHALALÁN is the story of a dream come true; a dream that was born in the Bolivian Amazon, in the community - San José de Uchupiamonas, built on the shores of the magnificent Chalalán Lagoon and designed to blend in with its environment using old building techniques and environmentally-friendly local materials. In CHALALÁN the jungle is your host and we are your guides.

Returning from Rurrenabaque, follows and excursion to Copacabana – Sun Island where according the Mythology the Inka Empire founders Manco Kapac and Mama Ocllo, came into existence. The Sun Island is a high island, with 9.6 Km length and 4.6 Km width, located one hour navigation by boat from Copacabana. In the Island we can find important archaeological pre-columbian monuments like Pilkokaina, Chinkana, Yumani and many inka-terraces. Views from the Sun Island are spectacular.
