A WILDLY LUXURIOUS ESCAPE

Ditch The Predictable And Let's Talk About How To Experience Bolivia Like The Fabulous, Adventure-Seeking Legend You Are.

- BY ESHIKA CHOPRA

Bolivia is like that effortlessly cool person at the party— unassuming at first, but once you start talking, you realize they have the most fascinating stories, the best taste in music, and a habit of doing things differently. If you’re planning a luxury trip in April, forget predictable beaches and all-inclusive resorts. Bolivia is where high-altitude glamour meets raw adventure. It’s where you can sip world-class wine at 12,000 feet, dance under Andean stars, and float through the Amazon while capybaras casually watch you from the riverbank.

So, let’s ditch the usual itineraries and talk about what really matters—how to indulge, explore, and party in Bolivia like you were born to do it.

THE AIR IS THIN, BUT THE EXPERIENCES ARE RICH

First things first—Bolivia sits at some of the highest altitudes on the planet, meaning the air is thinner, and so is your tolerance for bad wine (good thing Bolivia’s wine scene is shockingly good, but more on that later). La Paz, the world’s highest capital, is perched at 3,640 meters (11,942 feet), so your first task upon arrival? Slow down, breathe, and let the altitude acclimate you—preferably while sipping a cocaine-fused cocktail at a sky-high lounge.

La Paz is the kind of city that reveals itself in layers. Take the Mi Teleférico cable cars, not because you need to get anywhere, but because they offer some of the best views of any city, anywhere. The best way to explore? Hire a local guide who knows the secret art galleries, hidden speakeasies, and underground music venues that tourists rarely stumble into.
