While Bolivia boasts no coastal beaches, its high-altitude lakes and unique natural wonders offer unparalleled scenic beauty and cultural depth.
La Paz, the administrative seat, is a city built into a dramatic canyon, dominated by the snowy peak of Mount Illimani. It is famed for its vertical layout and the Mi Teleférico cable car system—the longest urban cable car network globally. A ride on the Teleférico provides stunning, cinematic views of the sprawling city and the neighbouring city of El Alto, one of the world's highest metropolitan areas. Must-sees include the bustling Witches' Market (Mercado de las Brujas) and the historic centre.
The Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat, covering over 10,000 square kilometers. During the rainy season, the thin layer of water transforms the ground into a massive, ethereal mirror, blurring the lines between the sky and the land, creating a powerful photographic illusion. Located nearby is the atmospheric Train Cemetery (Cementerio de Trenes), featuring rusting steam locomotives from a bygone era.
The former silver mining hub of Potosí was once one of the world's wealthiest cities. Today, it remains a UNESCO World Heritage site, situated at an extreme altitude (over 4,000 meters). The city's colonial architecture and history are inextricably linked to the Cerro Rico ("Rich Hill"), whose silver fueled the Spanish empire for centuries.
The constitutional capital, Sucre, is known as the "White City" for its well-preserved colonial architecture. Also a UNESCO site, it is a cultural cornerstone, home to the Casa de la Libertad, where Bolivia’s Declaration of Independence was signed. Sucre offers a lower, more pleasant altitude than Potosí or La Paz.
Shared with Peru, Lake Titicaca is the world's highest navigable lake and holds deep spiritual significance as the cradle of the Inca civilization. On the Bolivian side, the town of Copacabana and the sacred Isla del Sol (Island of the Sun) are key stops, offering serene Andean vistas.
A tour of Bolivia often serves as a gateway to other South American nations. HandySIM facilitates seamless border crossings with individual country plans:
Paraguay: Known for its vast wetlands and Jesuit Mission ruins, Paraguay offers a unique blend of nature and history.
Peru: Home to the legendary Machu Picchu, Peru offers a rich tapestry of Inca and pre-Inca history across its Andes mountains and Pacific coast.

The Latin America eSIM package provides a single, cost-effective data solution across several countries, eliminating the need to purchase and manage individual country plans. This maximizes efficiency, allowing you to focus purely on the adventure that awaits in Bolivia and beyond.
