Best Sellers - Things To Do in Bolivia

These are the activities and tours that travellers book the most in Bolivia, ranked purely by the volume of real reservations. This list reflects what people actually choose when they’re on the ground or planning ahead, not just what sounds good on paper.

Many of the top bookings revolve around the Uyuni Salt Flats, especially tours that take you across the vast salt desert and nearby sights. In La Paz, cable car rides and city tours attract plenty of visitors, often booked well before the dry season (May to October) when the weather is best. Adventure seekers also frequently opt for treks or excursions into the highlands around Sucre or the jungle regions near Rurrenabaque.

If you want to snag a spot in one of these popular tours, try booking at least a few days in advance, especially during Bolivia’s high season months. Also, some activities can be cut short or canceled when seasonal rains hit, so keep an eye on the weather forecasts. These best sellers show what most travellers pick to make the most of their time here.

Local tip for booking

If you’re heading to Uyuni for the salt flats, consider arriving a day earlier in the town of Uyuni itself to avoid rushing your tour start. This gives you time to book or adjust your trip if weather looks tricky. Also, bring warm layers even if it’s the dry season; nights can get bitterly cold in the desert. Booking in person in Uyuni can sometimes snag you better last-minute prices but don’t leave it too late during peak months. In La Paz, using the cable car system is not just a tour but also a cheap way to see different neighbourhoods from above, so combine it with a walk around markets or a café stop in Sopocachi.
