Need advice on Uyuni Salt Flat

My girlfriend and I want to do the 3 day 2 night tour, from the 9-11th August, starting and ending in Uyumi. The length, start and end point are fixed.

Can anyone recommend a good operator?

Budget will mean it has to be a shared jeep. We would pay a little more for better hotels, but understand that might not be possible.

I know a lot of people arrive and negotiate in the town, but we do not want to do that.

A new OSM-based app for informal transport in Bolivia can plan journeys between provinces — but more mapping is needed

So far there are only 2 inter-provincial routes in the app, but the more you/we/they map, the better the app becomes.

How are there no tours this week

Am I missing something?
My Valle de las animas tour got cancelled
And I can’t find anything for group tour for Chacaltaya tomorrow. I obviously don’t want a private tour that is expensive :/

Bolivia Bllqueos Update for Travelers - June 22, 2026

Hello Everyone!

​

Another update on the Bloqueos situation in Bolivia to help navigate the country during this time!

​

Finally, after many weeks of bloqueos the government has declared a state of emergency to provide them with the power to remove the bloqueos.

​

Travel has resumed in most of the country!

​

Supplies, food, fuel, and medical access has been restored.

​

There are still some issues in Cochabamba and a couple bloqueos in Oruro, but everywhere else has returned to normal travel.

​

This is a big relief to many people and although some of the structural issues are not resolved, the freedom of movement has returned which brings more stability to the country and the lives of every day people.

​

WARNING: It is still best to avoid the regions around Cochabamba as there are still bloqueos and conflicts between protesters and police there.

​

We hope this is a return to some level of normality and that life can improve for everyone. Let's hope the roads remain open for travel!

​

Copacabana/La Paz

Hello, now that Bolivia has enforced a state of exception I am planning on going to La Paz in a couple weeks. Please give me recommendations for affordable hotels I am planning staying 3 full days NOT including day of arrival and departure. I want to go to Copacabana and I think it would be best to stay one night and then head back to La Paz . I would prefer to have a personal driver take us to Copacabana and within La Paz how can I find a personal driver???

Copacabana

Since the roads have opened and buses are travelling now, what is Copacabana like? Is it still a ghost town? Can you do tours to Isla del Sol?

Global Affairs Canada says to avoid some regions of Bolivia

Cochabamba seems like it's right on the edge of the so-called no-go area—has anyone been recently? Is it still possible to travel there?
