Private Tours only

Along the way…

This program offers the visit with a private 4WD of Sajama National Park, one of the natural gems of Bolivia. We will encounter an abundant and varied, fauna in a unique landscape of majestic volcanoes, hot springs and geysers, and of lost villages where life follows its course to the slow rhythm of llamas and alpacas.

Icing over the cake, we discover the incredible chullpas of Río Lauca, the most beautiful vestiges of this type in Bolivia

Day 1 : LA PAZ – CURAHUARA DE CARANGAS - TOMARAPI

Departure from the hotel at 9 a.m. in a private vehicle 4x4. We traverse the altiplano until we reach the entrance of Sajama national park (about 4h) via the small village of Curahuara de Carangas and its well-adorned colonial church (the frescoes are perfectly preserved).

On the way, we stop by chullpas, Carangas sepultures, empty today after their systematic pillaging.

We enter the park by a dirt road that takes us to the village of Tomarapi. The wildlife is abundant and varied: alpacas, vicuñas and ñandus (a close cousin of the ostrich) if we are lucky.

Cold lunch. All included. Night at Tomarapi’s new “Albergue” (comfort of a 2-star hotel).

We leave the Albergue of Tomarapi to follow the base of volcano Sajama towards the North. Around noon, we reach Laguna Huaña Khota where flamingoes mix with the local ducks and wild geese.

A two-hour walk takes us to the Hot Springs, at the base of the volcano, for a relaxing bath.

Cold lunch. All included. Lodging at Tomarapi near the Hot Springs (basic comfort).

In the morning, we head to the geysers in our 4x4. This particularly active area offers a unique display of bubbling baths spread over hundreds of square meters. We can try cooking eggs in their slightly sulfuric water.

Then cap to the South to enter the country of Urus following sandy and treacherous dirt roads. After crossing Río Lauca, appear some polychromatic chullpas, the most beautiful of Bolivia (chullpas were tombs of the Aymara lords; pre-Inca time). Cold lunch (included). Dinner open.
