| Bien venidos a Bolivia! Welcome to Bolivia! Our purpose
is to share the inside knowledge of years of travel in Bolivia and to
educate everyone about the raw beauty of its landscape, to learn about
the wonderful variety of its people and ancient cultures and to shed some
light on many aspects of Bolivia that few know about. There is a wealth
of information to help you plan your trip to the heart of South America.
We also hope that you may want to travel with us to our home in the heart
of South America.
We decided from day one that we were going to be different than the other
operators. We were not going to be part of the masses offering “canned
tours” that are designed to move large numbers of people, that we
were not going to offer “budget tours” that end up being epics
in mediocre service, that our goal was to offer the quality and details
that we would like to have offered to us if we were going to visit any
country in the world. Custom tours are our specialty and we focus on those
types of trips year-round. From a solo trip with a jungle guide to private
women’s groups, from young students to professional film crews,
we have handled them all since 1994. This is our country, we were born
here, we live here and we have explored many corners of this incredible
land over many decades, from the Andean peaks to the Amazon rivers, and
we’re still exploring…

If you were looking for a place off the beaten track,
where you needed to visit a place where culture, geography and rich history
blend themselves into a rich tapestry of color, smells and real adventure,
then you have come to the right place. Bolivia is as rich in geographical
wonders as it is in mineral riches. It is as rich in ancient history as
it is in colonial history. It is as rich in flora and fauna as it is in
National Parks. It is richer than many countries around the world and
it has been exploited for those riches over centuries by people from all
over the world. Many people describe Bolivia as a pauper sitting on a
throne of gold. We believe interpretations have many faces but honestly
believe that the real riches of Bolivia are found by traveling to its
overlooked regions and mingling with the people, eating the local food,
hiking along Inca trails, swimming in lagoons, seeing spectacular sunsets,
climbing remote peaks and hearing the haunting and beautiful melody of
a bird in the rainforest canopy.
Explore Bolivia was designed for adventurous hearts and minds that want
to learn about natural history, culture and raw beauty. We believe and
thrive in taking some chances…for the sake of personal discovery
and rich adventure, because life is short. We want to help you take back
timeless memories and wonderful stories that are one-of-a-kind. Hopefully
you will share this treasure with your friends so they may come and see
for themselves too. We hope you join us soon!
