FAQs

How should I prepare for the high altitude in Uyuni and La Paz?

Altitude sickness can affect travelers. Take it easy on your first days at high altitude, drink plenty of water, and consider drinking coca tea, which is widely available and can help alleviate symptoms.

What is an Apthapi meal?

Apthapi is a traditional communal meal in Bolivia, consisting of locally sourced ingredients like potatoes, beans, corn, and eggs. It’s often served outdoors during special gatherings.

Can I visit the Uyuni Salt Flats year-round?

Yes, but the experience changes with the seasons. During the dry season (May to November), the salt flats are vast and white, while the rainy season (December to April) creates a stunning mirror effect when the flats are covered with a thin layer of water. Both seasons offer unique experiences.
