Custom travel agency in Bolivia

The dry season, from May to October, remains the most comfortable window for a trip to Bolivia: clear skies over the Altiplano, perfect reflections at the Salar d'Uyuni in early season, ideal conditions for trekking in the Cordillera Real between June and August. Nights are cold at altitude, sometimes biting above 4,000 m, but days are bathed in dry light that's highly photogenic. From December to March, the rainy season transforms the salar into a vast mirror, swells the Amazon rivers and greens the valleys of Sucre and Tarija. It's another Bolivia, more contrasted, more humid, that travelers choose with full knowledge depending on what they're looking for.

Bolivia remains one of the most affordable countries in South America, but prices vary significantly depending on the itinerary. For a 12 to 15-day circuit in Bolivia combining La Paz, Lake Titicaca, Sucre, Potosí and the Salar d'Uyuni, expect an average of €2,200 to €3,200 per person excluding international flights, with comfortable accommodations, English-speaking guides and private transfers. Extensions to the Rurrenabaque Amazon region, the South Lipez or a high-altitude trek will adjust this budget accordingly. Conversely, traveling off-season or choosing simple local accommodations allows you to significantly reduce costs without compromising the intensity of the experience.

Working with an English-speaking travel agency based on the ground changes everything in Bolivia. Distances are vast, roads can be unpredictable, altitude is genuinely challenging, and certain regions require fine-tuned logistics that only an on-site team can adjust in real time. Based in La Paz since 2011, Thaki Voyage builds each itinerary from personal reconnaissance, working directly with guides, drivers, and host families we've known for years. This translates into sound choices: the right lodge in Uyuni, the right refuge in the Royal Cordillera, the right moment to cross a particular pass. And if something unexpected happens, you have a contact here who can make decisions quickly.

We often start with La Paz, a vertical city clinging to its canyon, with its cable cars and witches' markets, before heading to the waters of Lake Titicaca on the Isla del Sol side. Further south, white Sucre and Potosí, former heart of colonial silver, tell another story. The Salar d'Uyuni and the South Lipez lagoons are obviously a highlight, extended all the way to the geysers and pink flamingos near the Chilean border. For those wanting to venture off the beaten path, the Royal Cordillera offers splendid treks at 5,000 m, and Madidi's Amazon rainforest displays dense wildlife, accessible from Rurrenabaque. Four Bolivias in one, to balance according to your available time.
