bolivia
Bolivia is one of the most dramatic countries in South America. The Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt flat, and the lagoons and volcanoes to the south feel like another planet.
La Paz sits in a canyon at over 3,500 metres, linked by cable cars, and Lake Titicaca is just a few hours away.
