"Off-road through the Andes, dust swirling around the 4×4 vehicle, the view never ends in the vastness that lies ahead. The domicile for the night appears out of nowhere: the deluxe Airstream camper at the Salar de Uyuni. Definitely my highlight of this trip, although there are so many other fascinating places to discover and marvel at."

Reception and private transfer with your local German-speaking guide to the hotel. Here you can arrive in peace and relax, as the room is available for immediate check-in (early check-in).
A first visit to the city awaits you around midday on the private city tour with your private guide. It will take you to the Club Hípico, one of the most beautiful racecourses in South America, on the Santa Lucía hill. This is where Pedro de Valdívia once founded the city.
Santiago de Chile combines the characteristics of a modern metropolis with those of a city steeped in history from the colonial era. During your private sightseeing tour with a German-speaking guide in a private car in the afternoon, you will visit both the historic centre and the modern side of Santiago. In the city centre, you will see the Presidential Palace, formerly the national mint and therefore called "La Moneda", the historic main square or "Plaza de Armas" with the cathedral and the beautiful old post office; the "Palacio de la Real Audiencia", which today houses the National History Museum and the "Casa Colorada", the historic residence of the governor during the colonial era.
Visit the Mercado Central and immerse yourself in a foreign world of smells and flavours. The large market halls from the 19th century offer fresh food, seafood and live cooking stalls and kitchens that offer fresh specialities and typical dishes such as empanadas, but also fish, meat and seafood. You should definitely try the empanadas here. You continue up the 300 metre high San Cristóbal. From there you have a magnificent view and - if you like - you can sample the famously good Chilean wines in a popular "enoteca".
Then it's off to the modern business districts of Santiago. The Providencia and Las Condes districts are characterised by glass office towers, trendy restaurants and shops that invite you to stroll around. In the shady avenues and on the spacious boulevards with their European flair, you could almost forget that you are in Latin America - an interesting contrast to the city centre that you got to know earlier.
Optional dinner in one of the trendy restaurants such as Boragó, Ambrosia, 99 or Peumayen. We will be happy to reserve a table for you.
On arrival in Santiago de Chile, reception and private drive to the Colchagua Valley to the Hotel Clos Apalta Residence with a German-speaking guide.

Your personal guide with their own 4×4 car is at your disposal, depending on your mood and physical condition. Your local guide will coordinate the activities with you on site.

Various activities and hikes can be undertaken depending on the weather and fitness level: Excursions to Piedras Rojas and the Tuyajto lagoon, to the geysers of El Tatio and Ayllu de Coyo, to the Moon Valley and the salt lake.
You have the day at leisure.
After breakfast, you will be picked up by our Bolivian partner with a 4×4 off-road private vehicle and private guide and drive up into the highlands across the Chile/Bolivia border. After crossing the border, you will enter the Eduardo Avaroa National Park, which covers an area of 714,745 hectares in the south-west of Potosi in the province of Sud Lipez. The native fauna has unique species adapted to the extreme living conditions in this region, some of which are threatened with extinction. This place is unique thanks to its lakes, salt pans, volcanoes, snow-capped peaks, plains, thermal springs, some rivers rich in algae and plankton, geothermal geysers, flora and general topography.
Visit the Laguna Verde, which looks like a giant emerald and from where you have an impressive view of the Licancabur volcano at 5,865 metres above sea level. The special brightness of the green water in the afternoon is dazzling. The intense green colour is due to a high magnesium content.
Continue to the "Sol de Mañana" geysers with fumaroles and volcanic craters of spectacular formation over an area of one square kilometre with intense volcanic and fumarole activity. The crater floor shows boiling lava. The fumaroles emit mixed water and superheated steam that reaches a height of 80 to 100 metres. This phenomenon shows a landscape from the beginning of the earth.
This geothermal field is located at an altitude of 4,900 metres. The road to Laguna Colorada leads through a unique landscape of deserts and mountains. With an area of 60 square kilometres and an altitude of 4,278 metres, Laguna Colorada is characterised by the red tone of its waters. The lagoon is inhabited by flocks of flamingos (three species): Tokko (with red plumage), Chururu (with whitish plumage) and Jututu (with pink plumage). The lagoon landscape is exceptionally beautiful at these altitudes, emphasised by the impressive reddish colour of the lagoon. This is considered the most important flamingo observation point in the Andes region. Vicuñas, llamas and vizcachas can also be seen. After the visit, the tour continues to Jirira, where you will spend the night.
Enjoy a picnic on the way.
Please note:
Today is a strenuous day and requires a good level of fitness. The journey takes around ten hours, including five stops on the way through this lonely and fascinating landscape.
The highest point of the day's stage is at the Sol de Manana geyser at 4,900 metres above sea level. The stop here is relatively short and the visit is not strenuous. Most of our guests had no problems at this altitude. There is always a bottle of oxygen in the jeep.
Arrival at the Salar de Uyuni in the evening.
Salar de Uyuni - the largest salt flat in the world - is located at an altitude of over 3,600 metres on the Bolivian plateau, a place that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Covering over 11,000 square kilometres, visitors can see dazzling white, crystallised salt as far as the eye can see.
We have planned a two-day stay here.
Option A:
Arrival at the Salar de Uyuni in the evening, where you will find your next and very secluded accommodation, the Deluxe Airstream Camper, with its own cook and your private guide.
You will go on private excursions with your guide in robust off-road vehicles in and around the salt flats, which not only capture the fascinating whiteness during the day, but also stop at erupting geysers, eerily colourful lagoons and low-lying islands where only giant cacti survive.

Full-day excursion with your private guide: Uyuni is the largest salt desert in the world and is located on the Bolivian Andes Altiplano with 12,000 square kilometres. The Bolivian Andes offer breathtaking landscapes that are hard to beat. The sound of silence makes your heart beat faster and the surreal pentagons of crystalline salt, pure sky and cacti will surely make you feel that there is no other place like this in the whole world.
After breakfast, early in the morning, we travel by private car to Uyuni (vehicle change) and on to Potosi. The city has been declared a "historical and cultural heritage of humanity" by UNESCO. Potosí, the most powerful mining town in America, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, lies isolated in the middle of a barren mountain world at an altitude of 4,070 metres in south-central Bolivia. The name Potosí became a symbol of wealth and power through silver and transformed the city into one of the largest urban centres in Spanish America, surpassing European cities of the time with a population of 160,000 in 1650. Unique wooden machines brought from Spain in the 17th century are worth protecting.
After the short visit, continue to Sucre. On arrival, à la carte lunch (included) in the local restaurant "El Huerto". Followed by a visit to the city. Enjoy a private tour of Sucre and visit The Recoleta, the House of Liberty, where Simon Bolivar signed Bolivia's independence. With its historic centre and magnificent colonial buildings, which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its pleasant climate and its many green spaces, Sucre is one of the most beautiful cities in Bolivia.

2 nights at the 5★ Hotel Atix, double room deluxe with breakfast – Details about the hotel
In the afternoon, you will go on a private city tour with a private guide in a private car. The city of La Paz and its surroundings can transport you to a mysterious past where every corner, every street is a hidden treasure where the adventure begins. A living history that treasures the pre-Hispanic era with all its traditions and magical rites on its streets. The indigenous, colonial and modern areas, the Indian market, the witch doctor market and breathtaking panoramas are all framed by the majestic "Illimani" mountain. Visit the Moon Valley, a clay formation that resembles the face of the moon. Ride the cable car over the city of La Paz and enjoy the aerial view.
Today's programme includes a private excursion in a private car with a private guide to Tiawanaku. This most important archaeological site in Bolivia is just under an hour's drive from La Paz, not far from Lake Titicaca. The Tiahuanacu culture, also known as Tiwanaku or Tihuanaco, existed from 1500 BC to 1200 AD and is the oldest and most important civilisation in the Andean highlands, both in terms of its duration and the extent of its territory. There is evidence of its development from its village beginnings to its imperial heyday. The ruins of the Tiwanaku excavation are part of a ceremonial complex, including the Pumapunku temple, the upper five steps of the Akapana pyramid and the Kalasasaya temple, on which the famous Sun Gate and the monolithic sculptures of Ponce and Fraile are located.
The rest of the afternoon is at leisure. For dinner we recommend the restaurant "GUSTU".
After breakfast, you will be picked up by your guide. Then you will travel to Huatajata, on the shores of the huge Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world. Here you will learn more about the culture and the importance of faith. Then start the deluxe hydrofoil boat trip on Lake Titicaca with a visit to the floating islands of the Uros, one of the main attractions of the lake, from where you can enjoy a beautiful view with the Cordillera Real in the background. Both islands are home to archaeological sites that were once temples of the Inca civilisation. Moon Island is located opposite the small village of Sampaya on the Copacabana peninsula. It is the second sacred island of the Incas and contains the remains of ancient civilisations. Although the island is very small, the vast panorama of the Cordillera Real that can be admired from it is very impressive. The Moon Island is home to the ruins of the Iñak Uyu Temple, also known as the Moon Temple, which was probably once an "Ajillawasi" or "House of the Chosen Virgins of the Sun", a building consisting of three wings surrounding a courtyard with façades.
After the visit, continue by boat to Sun Island, which is car-free. Here you will learn more about the Holy Mother Earth during a Pachamama ceremony. After lunch (included), take a boat trip to the pilgrimage site of Copacabana on the Bolivian shore of Lake Titicaca and visit the pilgrimage church with the shrine of the Black Madonna.

Enjoy a relaxing stay here in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. With a little imagination, the landscape looks as if you were travelling in Italy. At a pleasant altitude of 2,800 metres, the colours are radiant - the blue of the sky, the red of the earth and the colour mosaic of the blossoming flowers.
Inspired by this environment, the Sol y Luna celebrates the beauty of the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The architecture combines avant-garde with simplicity. The walls are adorned with modern and traditional Peruvian artworks, while the stones, wooden beams and bricks come from the valley. The delicious cuisine also draws inspiration from regional cookery, enriching it with a touch of modernity. Sol y Luna is located near a number of archaeological sites and is like a gateway to a lost culture. Chef Nacho Selis is creative and will inspire you.

1 overnight stay at the 4★ Hotel Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo, Inkaterra Suite with breakfast and dinner – Details about the hotel
Machu Picchu is an extremely extraordinary city. Even though it is only preserved in ruins today, it has lost none of its former power. It simply captivates everyone who visits it! You are lucky and live here: This means you can get up to the ruins early in the day and experience the city with fewer tourists in the morning, when the mist and clouds slowly clear.
Day tourists arrive in the morning, so you have a time advantage. The entrance tickets and the shuttle bus journey are already included, without a guide. The room is available until 11am, we try to arrange a late check-out until 12pm or 2pm (subject to availability, otherwise guaranteed 300€).

3 nights at the 5★ Hotel Belmond Palacio Nazarenas, City View Studio, breakfast – Details about the hotel
Cuzco was once the centre of the world and the capital of the Incas. Today, the city stands out as a colonial world heritage site and when you walk through the alleyways and thick stone walls of the convent and monastery into the shady patio, you can almost hear the humming chant of the monks echoing off the walls.
This convent was once characterised by contemplation and frugality, but today only contemplation remains. And the enchanting architecture, in which blue accents compete directly with the sky over Cusco. Today, spacious, bright suites with large windows and balconies or terraces and majestic wrought-iron four-poster beds standing on the gleaming stone floor, once perhaps a barren monk's cell, invite you in. Tradition meets modernity, and the first open-air swimming pool in all of Cusco, as well as an outstanding spa.
Enjoy a hearty breakfast. In the late morning, you will set off with your private guide on a guided walk through the colonial old town and visit the Dominican monastery of Santo Domingo, among other things. The remarkable buildings of the abbey were built by Dominican monks between the 16th and 17th centuries.

German nationals do not require a visa to enter Chile, Peru and Bolivia and stay there for up to 90 days.
Chile's climate is characterised by different climate zones. The north tends to have less rainfall, while the south is more humid. The best time to visit Chile is between October and April, but the north can be easily travelled all year round.
The climate in Bolivia is mainly dependent on the altitude, with a large part of the country lying at over 1,500 metres. The rainy season is between November and March throughout the country, while it is drier between April and October - these months are also considered the best time to visit.
The best time to travel to Peru is the Peruvian winter between April and October. This is when it is dry and warm, although it can be cooler at higher altitudes. Summer in Peru is from December to March, which is the rainy season. In the highlands of the Andes, known as the "Sierra", the average temperature at 3,300 metres is only around 11 °C all year round.
No compulsory vaccinations are required for direct entry from Germany for Chile, Bolivia and Peru. However, when travelling to Bolivia from a yellow fever area, proof of a yellow fever vaccination must be provided. All areas of Bolivia below 2,300 metres are yellow fever transmission areas. Peru also has designated yellow fever endemic areas, in particular the entire Peruvian Amazon region and the areas east of the Andes below 2,300 metres. It is therefore strongly recommended that all travellers are vaccinated against yellow fever before travelling to these areas. The vaccination is valid from the tenth day of international travel. Also make sure that your standard vaccinations are up to date according to the Robert Koch Institute's vaccination calendar. Vaccinations against hepatitis A, hepatitis B, typhoid and rabies are also recommended as travel vaccinations for long-term stays or special exposure.

"Off-road through the Andes, dust swirling around the 4×4 vehicle, the view never ends in the vastness that lies ahead. The domicile for the night appears out of nowhere: the deluxe Airstream camper at the Salar de Uyuni. Definitely my highlight of this trip, although there are so many other fascinating places to discover and marvel at."
