OVERVIEW

From the border with Chile Hito Cajón 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 at present mines are still exploited as in the colonial times. Sucre the official capital of Bolivia, has much to offer to the visitor. Besides visiting the most important places in the city, we head to Jatun Yampara a success of ecotourism and sustainable development. This indigenous community chose to preserve its traditions as well as its “Yampara” culture. We discover the daily life and the customs of this community by visiting the workshops, the ancient tombs called “chullpas” and the school.

Flight from Sucre 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.

Coroico is 3 hours drive from La Paz , is nestled high in the mountains under La Paz and a peaceful little village. The views of the surrounding hills are lovely, the nearby hiking trails are picturesque, the bars and restaurants in town are pleasant, and there are worthwhile excursions. Here in this tropical town, you'll find fruit orchards, twittering birds, coca fields, endless greenery, oxygen-rich air, warm weather, and friendly people.

Next day, will take place an excursion to Tiwanaku archaeological place. Tiwanaku, an ancient city near the south shore of Lake Titicaca, thrived as a most important site before the Inca Empire. Tiwanaku is believed to be the capital of the Pre-Inca Civilization.

Tiwanaku 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.

We continue for an 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.

The trip continues from Copacabana to Puno, where you will have the opportunity to visit the floating islands of the Urus located at 5 kilometers from Puno and at an altitude of 3.810 m.a.s.l. It is a group of 40 big, floating islands of totora where the inhabitants still live like their ancestors.

Their origin goes back to the time before the Inkas. They still keep their fishing traditions, especially for fish and hunt.
From Puno to Cuzco is a pleasant trip, with some visits in the way.

Cuzco the Inca's main city is a town full of history. There are still Inca building remains and foundations, which have been in some cases been proved to be stronger than the foundations built in the present day Peru. Among the most noteworthy buildings of the city is the cathedral of Santo Domingo.

The major nearby Inca sites are Pachacuti's presumed winter home, the "fortress" at Ollantaytambo and the "fortress" of Sacsayhuaman in the Sacred Valley of Incas. Naturally the main attraction is Machupicchu The site was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1983 when it was described as "an absolute masterpiece of architecture and a unique testimony to the Inca civilization”.
