4WD JOURNEYS

Driving through Uyuni salt flats during the rainy season (J.Camarlinghi) There are many outstanding landscapes in the central Andes, starting from the Pacific coastline through the central high plateaus, up to the mountains, and down to the Amazon basin.

Bolivia, Peru, Chile and Argentina share one of the natural wonders of our planet: the high altitude Andean desert. The area includes the Atacama Desert, the Uyuni salt flats, the Andean lagoons and several National Parks.

We combine the rough road driving with hikes to visit National Parks, archaeological sites and amazing landscapes. We overnight in charming hotels in the main cities and the best accommodation available in the countryside.

Among the TOP FIVE TRIPS IN BOLIVIA, please consider the program 4WDESVAL.

EXPEDITIONS

Back

We chose this term not neccesarily regarding the technical difficulty but because of the length (2-3 weeks) of these trips and the complexity of its organization. Our expeditions have been designed to introduce you to the very heart of the region and provide you the most enriching lifetime experience you can get for your money, they are not just single or multiple day “tours” put together.

All of our expeditions start and end when we pick you up to or from the airport, and include all land services: accommodation, full-board-food (B&B in main cities), common equipment, and all the staff required. International and local flights are normally not included.

Expeditions already include an acclimatization program, the ones marked with * have a set departure date that you can find in our Calendar.
