The most beautiful natural sites to discover Bolivia

Even more off the beaten tracks. Take the Ventilla trail (towards the Illimani) and pass the pass before Lambate. The first village on the descent is called Tutural Pampa. Walk to the lagoons you have seen on the descent. The good walkers will reach the last lagoon at the foot of the Mururata glacier. We saw people crying at the arrival, amazed by the fatigue or the beauty of the places crossed, which have nothing to envy Patagonia.

For these two excursions and the following trekkings, it is preferable to go through a La Paz agency (Terra Andina, Hummingbird or Andean] are renowned specialists, see the agencies section in La Paz).

In 4 X 4 take the Lake Titicaca route from La Paz. Then head to the village of Penas (an indispensable map) and follow the slope towards the Cordillera. You will pass from lagoons into multicolores lagoons, in one of the most beautiful scenery of the Cordillera. Off-piste excursion that gives you an adventure flavour and a real Cordillère approach without having to wear your backpack and tent. You can't be disappointed.

Here is the opportunity to make a nice stroll around Tupiza, which can be combined with the visit of the Quebrada de Palmira (count a full day on foot and half a day on horseback). El Cañón del Duende is an impressive canyon, named as a result of the rock formation at its summit strangely resembling… an elf (duende)! It is above all a pretext to enjoy the splendid arid landscapes of the region, with geological curiosities in multiple colors that evoke the good old western with Terence Hill.

Small sources of hot thermal water of volcanic origin makes it possible to brighten your stay if you stay in San Javier for the night.

A natural canyon whose shape is reminiscent of a bottle. Possibility to make very nice photos.
