  • '''Yungas Road''' (''Camino de la Muerte'') — infamous for being the most dangerous road in the world, in the Yungas Region, the notoriety of this road from La Paz to Coroico has turned it into a popular destination for international tourists, especially byciclists. Bolivia has finally finished the alternate paved route, so there is far less traffic on this road, and is at least a little safer for that.

  • One of the highlights of this region is the '''Salar de Uyuni''': 200 square miles of flat dazzling white salt at an altitude of 3000 metres. There are many tours of this salt lake from Uyuni - or for a four day tour choose the one from Tupiza near the Argentine border. There are many fascinating islands on the lake with giant cactii growing everywhere.
