The first glimpse of La Paz will take your breath away. The city’s buildings cling to the sides of the canyon and spill spectacularly downwards. From urban jungle to remote ruins, a pilgrimage to Peru’s famed Inca citadel of Machu Picchu and its wild landscapes will re-forge our connection to the natural world. But the true highlight of this itinerary is Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat, spanning over 4,000 sq. miles (10,582 sq. km) in southwestern Bolivia. Unlike traditional deserts which are filled with sand, the Salar de Uyuni features vast expanses of glistening white salt. There is no place else like it in the world.
