Top La Paz Day Trips - page 2

This was a highlight of our trip!!! The description is exactly how it all played out, and it was so much fun. As someone who is scared of heights, I was apprehensive, but it was such a rush and the views were so spectacular that it was so worth it. As long as you listen to the safety instructions and aren’t stupid, you’ll be completely fine. I highly recommend going with Gravity. Seeing some of the other tour companies on the road with us, our bikes were much sturdier and looked so much safer, so for your own safety and peace of mind, spend the extra money with Gravity. They are also the only tour that ends at the animal sanctuary, and a portion of the cost of the tour goes towards the sanctuary where animals are rescued from the illegal pet trade. So on top on an amazing experience, you’re helping a local organization as well. Our guides Kenneth and Cesar were awesome!!! Oh, and WEAR WATERPROOF CLOTHING AND SHOES.

Edson, the owner of Sami Tours, put together an awesome custom private half day tour of La Paz for us. We rode several teleferico lines and saw numerous sights around town. The tour flowed really well and we tasted some great snacks as well. Edson shared stories of the past and present with us and made us feel welcome in Bolivia. I highly recommend this tour.

Our visit to the Uyuni Salt Flats was, without exaggeration, an 11 out of 10. We started the journey in La Paz, taking an overnight bus to Uyuni. The bus ride itself isn’t glamorous — it’s a necessary investment in the experience — but it’s absolutely worth it in both directions once you see what awaits you. When we arrived in Uyuni, Constancio was there waiting for us exactly as planned. From the first interaction, his professionalism stood out. He immediately took us to a local hotel where we could have breakfast and clean up from the bus ride before beginning the tour. That thoughtful touch set the tone for the entire day: organized, considerate, and exactly as advertised — if not better. From there, the tour began, and it exceeded every expectation. Julia, our guide, was exceptional. Her English was excellent, which made the experience seamless and engaging. She was patient, answered every question thoroughly, and demonstrated deep knowledge of the geology, history, and culture of the region. Beyond her expertise, she was genuinely fun to spend the day with — warm, funny, and incredibly easy to interact with. On a private tour, personality matters, and Julia made the experience feel personal without ever being overbearing. She struck the perfect balance of professionalism and approachability. Constancio was equally impressive behind the wheel. Navigating the vast salt flats requires skill and awareness, and we always felt completely safe and well taken care of. He was punctual, attentive, and clearly experienced. Together, Julia and Constancio made a fantastic team. As for Uyuni itself — it is a must-see, once-in-a-lifetime destination. The scale, the silence, the reflections, the endless white horizon — it’s movingly beautiful in a way that’s difficult to articulate. It doesn’t just look stunning; it feels profound. The lunch in the middle of the flats and the sunset were absolute highlights. Watching the colors shift across the sky and reflect off the salt was something we will never forget. Every element of the tour matched or exceeded what was promised. Logistics were smooth. Timing was perfect. Communication was clear. It felt premium, curated, and professionally executed from start to finish. The only minor complaint was the bus ride — but again, that’s part of the journey and absolutely worth it. If you’re considering Uyuni, stop researching and start booking. Go. And if you have the opportunity to tour with Julia and Constancio, you will be in outstanding hands. Truly unforgettable.
