Salta, San Pedro de Atacama, Uyuni, Potosí, Sucre & La Paz

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Salta, San Pedro de Atacama, Uyuni, Potosí, Sucre, and La Paz form one of South America's most iconic overland routes, stretching across northwest Argentina, northern Chile, and Bolivia. The journey passes through dramatic Andean landscapes including the world's largest salt flat at Uyuni, the stark lunar valleys and geysers around San Pedro de Atacama, and the colonial architecture of Potosí and Sucre — both UNESCO World Heritage cities. Travellers come for high-altitude adventure, indigenous culture, and some of the most otherworldly scenery on the continent. La Paz, one of the world's highest capital cities, serves as a buzzing gateway to the wider Bolivian Andes.

Salta to La Paz: Self-Launched Andes Crossing

A self-launched version of Bamba Travel's 12-day Salta-to-La Paz travel pass, crossing Argentina's wine country, Chile's Atacama Desert and Bolivia's salt flats and colonial highlands. You book each leg yourself — local buses, shared 4x4 tours out of Uyuni and San Pedro, and overnight sleeper buses — with hostel and guesthouse stays of comparable quality. Everything on the original itinerary (Cafayate wine tour, Valle de la Luna, the 3-day Uyuni salt flats expedition, a Sucre cooking class and a La Paz cable-car day) is bookable independently via GetYourGuide, local operators or direct. Note this is an independent route, not a guided group tour — you set the pace, dates and accommodation. All costs are approximate per-person estimates in GBP.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Salta, San Pedro de Atacama, Uyuni, Potosí, Sucre & La Paz yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
