A circuit that links three symbolic cities of southern Bolivia: Sucre, Potosí and Uyuni. The first two are colonial cities that have preserved numerous vestiges of their rich historical past. Uyuni, the gateway to the magnificent salt desert of Sud Lípez. Lovers of contrasts will have no room for complaints. Sucre is an invitation to tranquility and the pleasure of living. Potosí, the mining city par excellence, is an essential point if you want to understand the link that this city, which was once the richest in the world, means. Finally, Uyuni, the far west town lost in the desert, is the entrance to the Sud Lípez area and its many wonders.
