Luxury Bolivia Family Tours made for you

A bespoke Bolivia family adventure

Luxury Bolivia family tours: otherworldly scenery and rich culture

Bolivia offers an extraordinary journey through incredibly diverse landscapes: windswept high altitudes eventually give way to lush tropical lowlands, via cities that are rich in tradition and culture.

Visiting the high-altitude city of La Paz is an adventure. It’s situated in a deep canyon with the snow-capped Cordillera Real mountains all around. Experience walking tours that lead to lessons on traditional herbs and medicines in markets, and then hop aboard the Teleférico cable car that promises excellent city views.

From La Paz you can access two completely different ecosystems: the Amazon rainforest and the wildlife-rich Pampas wetlands. While in the Amazon children can spot pink river dolphins and capybaras.

Just a few hours away are the Bolivian shores of Lake Titicaca at 3,812 metres (12,507 feet). Your private guide will take you on boat trips to visit sacred Inca ruins and islands where Indigenous communities live on handwoven platforms. Further south, the Salar de Uyuni – the world’s largest salt flat – stretches as far as the eye can see. During the wet season you might spot flamingoes in the surrounding lagoons, when a thin layer of water transforms the flats into a giant mirror, blurring the line between earth and sky.

Near the eastern edge of the Altiplano, the town of Sucre, with its whitewashed buildings and chocolate museums, sits at a more comfortable elevation for acclimatising. Meanwhile, in the eastern lowlands, the economic powerhouse of Santa Cruz – warm, modern and tropical – offers a striking contrast to high-altitude destinations, and families who want to avoid the high elevation of La Paz can access the Amazon from here instead.

Talk to your travel designer about combining your Bolivia family adventure with Peru and Machu Picchu, or Chile and the Atacama Desert.

A word from one of our experts

There’s nowhere else quite like Bolivia in the world – for geography or culture – and many of the places you’ll visit feel genuinely off the beaten path. Bolivian culture is a wonderful mix of Indigenous, European and Andean influences, and there’s a packed calendar of festivals and celebrations to experience.

Where to go in Bolivia

When to visit Bolivia

May to October offers the best time to visit Bolivia, with dry weather and warmer temperatures throughout. The Bolivian winter in the highlands can be very cold, with temperatures dropping below freezing at night in places like the Altiplano and Salar de Uyuni, especially in June and July. The dry season from April to October is ideal for sightseeing, trekking, mountain biking and outdoor activities in the highlands. Visit from November to March, however, and you’ll see the flooded Salar de Uyuni transformed into a giant mirror, as well as lush Amazon scenery.
