Explore the surreal white landscapes of the iconic Salar de Uyuni and stay in either an Airstream caravan, which allows you to find the most remote spots to spend the night, or a hotel made entirely out of salt blocks. Both provide incredible and completely unique ways to experience this stunning corner of the world.

Explore Bolivia's second city of Sucre, whose white colonial architecture provides an excellent insight into the country's Spanish colonial past. The food markets here are a great way experience and understand local life, while sampling as much local produce as you can is an absolute must. Nearby, and well worth a visit, is the largest collection of dinosaur footprints in the world, which are nearly a billion years old.

Potosi was once the wealthiest place in South America thanks to the immense wealth its silver mines yielded. These days the mines of the Cerro Rico still operate in largely the same way as they did in colonial times, providing a rather sobering insight into the incredibly difficult conditions miners have to work in.
