You are sure to fall in love with Bolivia and its local culture during your visit.
Here are some romantic activities, locations, and hotels you will want to include on your Bolivia honeymoon vacation.
Isla del Sol is a Bolivian island in Lake Titicaca. It’s crossed by trails and known for Inca sites
Lake Titicaca is a location in Bolivia filled with history, legends, and a popular spiritual retreat for many who visit the region. One of the most romantic things to do when visiting Titicaca Lake is to go for a boat ride or take a tour out to Isla del Sol. During the day, you will see breathtaking landscapes filled with mountain scapes, and at night you will be able to sit under a sky of stars as you have never seen before. Activities for couples include relaxing on the beach, dipping in the calm waters, or listening to music while sitting around the campfire at night.
There are hotels located on the islands of Lake Titicaca, including Utasawa Lodge, which is located right on Isla del Sol, which is a cozy bed and breakfast. If you are looking for a romantic hotel with amazing views of Lake Titicaca, you will want to stay at Mirador del Titikaka. This hotel is on a hilltop overlooking the lake and offers a quiet place to relax after a long day out on the lake.
Salar de Uyuni, amid the Andes in southwest Bolivia, is the world’s largest salt flat
The Uyuni Salt Flats are not very far from Potosi, which are home to fascinating views as far as the eye can see. During your honeymoon vacation, you can enjoy many outdoor activities when exploring the salt flats. A popular activity is visiting the town of Colchani, a small village that was developed for the sole purpose of processing salt. While there, mingle with the friendly locals, and stop by the salt factory for a tour.
Visiting Uyuni Salt Flats is definitely for those seeking outdoor adventure in Bolivia. There are many activities to enjoy, including hiking, biking, and watching the sunset. One romantic spot is Aguas Termales de Polques, which is nestled among the patterns of salt and volcanoes. There you can relax in the bath in the thermal waters of the hot springs. This is a great way to relax after spending the day exploring the salt flats. Uyuni Salt Flats are another fantastic location in Bolivia to spend a romantic evening under the stars.
For a romantic evening, plan to stay under the stars in the dome cottages at Kachi Lodge. This puts you close to all the activities available at Uyuni Salt Flats. Another romantic place to stay is Casa del Sal, a hotel wholly made out of locally gathered salt. Other romantic hotels in the area include Hotel Boutique Atipax and Hotel Palacio del Sal.
