Near Lake titicaca the ruins of Kalasasaya Temple can be found, among which stands the statue of Ponce Stela, believed to be a mythical creature. Tiwanaku culture existed 1500 years ago mainly in Peru but stretched over the border to present day Bolivia.
This gate is located near Lake Titicaca and is carved from one solid piece of rock weighing an estimated 10 tons. It is thought to be at least 1500 years old and part of the Tiwanaku culture that was found in Peru and parts of Bolivia. The figure in the centre of the lintel may be the sun god or the Inca god, Viracocha, which in turn is surrounded by 48 squares each of which contains a winged effigy with either a human or condor head.
I guess the hunters and fishermen already know about Bolivia, because that's all I met o the airplane when I traveled there on my second trip, in business class. The birders need to wake up. There's a lot of birds here and a lot of rural, unspoiled scenery. With a bird list of around 1,400 species and an amazing variety of habitats from Pantanal to Andes Mountains and glaciers, you should be able to find what you're looking for. I used birdbolivia.com to package my parrot trip, and it was first rate.
The crater lake ontop of Licancabur is considered to be the highest lake of the world. Despite beeing frozen most of the time, there is life inside that got into the center of a NASA/UCLA expedition research in 2002 and 2003. (there has been a diving expedition in 1984 already). The lower waterlevels stay above 0 degrees Celcius despite peak temperatures of up to -40 degrees Celcius.
Bolivia's capital is one of the most liked in South America in part for its setting, within easy view of the Cordillera Real. It's also user friendly and a fun place to spend a few days in between adventures so readily found in Bolivia.
This all too comfortable city on the shores of Lake Titicaca combines all the infrastructure that makes a tourist town so pleasant and yet somehow manages escape the overkill so present in other such places. By far, the most relaxing place we found in either Bolivia or Peru on our trip.
If you are a thrill seeker...this is a must! pictures dont do it any justice, you have to actually be there to really get the full effect. I would not recommend this trip for novice bike riders...you will seriously get hurt or die... im pretty good and i still had a tough time with the traveling speed...about 50mph all down hill! the nerves do get to you. this is not a place for a honeymoon folks! if you bring your loved one, you will be more concerned with their well being than with the road infront of you, not a good idea!! Pick a good company for the travel, i recommend Gravity Assisted tours, great gear and experienced riders. You can bring your own gloves and helmet if youd like. The trip is several hours and finishes at a nature reserve. Thinking about training for the trip...work on your thighs (you will be off your seat for a long while) forearms (you will be holding on for dear...
If you truly care about conservation and you want a non-cookie cutter tourist experience, I cannot recommend Serere Lodge highly enough.Serere is a private reserve (no other tour operators can go there) about two hours upstream from Rurrenabaque by boat with a handful of lovely new-ish cabanas. It’s a conservation project rather than a tourist venture – the reserve was founded in this area because it’s a strategic point for the team that runs it to protect the jungle to the north and work with indigenous communities close by. And that’s what the vibe was - more like we were getting insight into the workings of a conservation project rather than a tourist visiting an ecolodge. The owner Rosa-Maria Ruiz was instrumental in founding Madidi National Park, led a National Geographic expedition to the area, and now Serere is her latest project.We spent a fantastic three days walking in the...
This charming Island is a great way to relax and enjoy a few days on the world's highest navigable lake, Lago Titicaca. Here you can enjoy traditional Bolivian villages and local life. See the video at Isla del Sol
Rimmed by snowcapped volcanoes and crowned with a deep blue sky the Salar is a 12,000 sq km expanse of unfathomable blinding white at a nose bleed altitude of 3,660 m. It is up to 120 m deep with the top 10 m being pure salt. Due to the amount of water below and an usual respiration of gases that bubble up, small rims are pushed up forming massive hexagons along the salar’s surface. The geometric shadows stretching to the horizon from the setting sun creates the sensation of being the central theme in an Escher sketch. Near the very center of this immense expanse is an island completely made of coral which is home to a rather tall and prickly population of cacti called, Cactus Island. From here the views are even more bizarre. These species of Cacti grow ever so slowly at a rate of 1 cm per year. The tallest cactus is 12.3 meters tall making it 1203 years old (so the sign said, but I...
