About this trip

Bolivia is a South American country with incredibly varied terrain spanning across the Andes Mountain Range, the Atacama Desert and the Amazon Rainforest. The culture is bright, colourful and festive; it is also home to the highest percentage of indigenous people, therefore community-based tourism is popular and offers the best experiences with rich traditions.


La Paz is Bolivia’s capital and located at a whopping 3500 meters above sea level, making it the highest capital city in the world. Highlights and favourites of Bolivia are the Uyuni salt flats, the small town of Copacabana and the Islands of the Sun and Moon, with ancient history dating back to the Inca time period. Other top destinations are Lake Titicaca, the town of Potosi in the southern highlands, and Santa Cruz to the south. Wildlife in Bolivia is so biodiverse, species are still being discovered to this day. Thanks to the lush Amazon and mix of rugged terrains, the wildlife is rare and exotic. 

Highlights and Favourites

Visit such iconic destinations as the Uyuni salt flat, the Bolivian Highlands, and the bustling city of La Paz. Other popular places to visit include Lake Titicaca, the town of Potosi in the southern highlands, and Santa Cruz to the south.

Itinerary

Day 1 - 4 April
Hello & Welcome

Meet Ricardo and the Inspired Team at El Alto International Airport, in La Paz.  We aim to depart at 11 am, so if you are unable to arrive before this time, we recommend you fly in a day earlier and overnight at an airport hotel which we can gladly arrange for you.


We will load up and travel as a group to our hotel which will be our base for the next 3 days.

 

The afternoon will be spent exploring the highest city in the world's architecture,  diverse people,  food,  and even a witches' market! Colour and flavour are the order of the day, with something to excite our senses around every unearthed corner.  We will explore the city on foot and from the skies, by cable car to get a bird's eye view, while soaking up the magical Kili Kili sunset.

An absolutely amazing time with The Matriarch Adventures and EHRA supporting desert elephant conservation. Every small thing was covered and I can’t recommend this opportunity enough. Namibia is a beautiful country and definitely worth exploring. Thanks to Rachel and her team at EHRA and Catherine Edsall for all their efforts

I did not know what to expect from the Matriarch Adventure but wow~what a perfect antidote to our stressful high tech disconnected lives…The landscapes, sunrises, plant life, animals and people we met were all special and magical. This was an oasis of calm and contentment like never before. Catherine unobtrusively holds a safe and supportive space, and added some beautiful touches which made the week complete. I will be drawing on those memories for years to come.

As a first time solo traveler, I felt a bit apprehensive arriving but Anna and Anghared immediately put me at ease and I felt very comfortable. I met lots of like minded adventure travel enthusiasts which was great! Felicity, leading the hikes was brilliant. Really encouraging and supportive. The two hikes were varied and just the right pitch for me, so the boot levels on Anna's website were very accurate. The accommodation was perfect for what we required, lovely communal areas and basic but fine bedrooms. We had some great conversation at the dinners, breakfasts and whilst on the walks. I will not hesitate to recommend to friends, in fact I already have! I hope I will be able to go on another of Anna's trips in the not too distant future! Thank you.

This trip is unique - it's a combination of the known and the unknown, the town and the desert, noise and silence, wildlife and humanity. The support team are amazing - welcoming, flexible, calm, and informative ... and they provide amazing food! You can't help but enjoy the company of all the other women on the same trip - we have the elephants in common! And the stars are visible above you at night as you lie on the warm earth listening to unusual Namibian noises.
