We've collected a list of the top tourist attractions in Bolivia, so make sure to include them in your list if you're a visitor. At first in the list, number 1, Sala de Uyuni. For a truly out-of-this-world travel destination, it's hard to match the Sala de Uyuni. One of the flattest places in the world, the 4,000-square-mile Salt Flats were formed by a prehistoric lake. Visitors travel in 4x4 vehicles across the expanse of the Salt Flats to visit locally fashioned structures made entirely from salt bricks. The Salt Flats are at their most spectacular after a rain, when water sitting atop the cemented salt acts like a mirror, perfectly reflecting the sky above. Number 2, Lake Titicaca. Bordering Bolivia and Peru, Lake Titicaca is the largest lake in South America. Incans, as well as several other native peoples, are thought to have originated in the region. Near the lake's southeastern shore lies Tijuanacu, ruins of an ancient city-state that scholars believe was a precursor of the Inca Empire. Lake Titicaca is a popular vacation destination. The original Copacabana is a favorite resort for both tourists and locals. Number 3, Sucre. Known as the City of Four Names, Sucre is also called Charcas, La Plata, and Chukwasaka. Founded in the 1500s by Spanish colonials, Sucre offered visitors a clear glimpse of life in aristocratic Spain in the 16th century. Sucre has many important historical buildings worth visiting, including La Casa de la Libertad, where Simón Bolívar wrote the Bolivian Constitution, and Bolivia's National Library, which features documents dating to the 15th century. Number 4, Cerro Rico, Potosí. The rich mountain or Cerro Rico towers over the city of Potosí once held the silver that lured Spanish conquistadors to the world's highest city. Cerro Rico is the ideal travel destination for those who want to explore the effect of colonization on Bolivia's indigenous people. Although the silver is long gone, tin is still mined from Cerro Rico. Visitors may tour the mines and the Casa Nacional de Moneda, a museum that once housed the royal mint. Number 5, Reserva Eduardo Averoa. The Eduardo Averoa Andean Fauna National Reserve in Bolivia's harsh southwest circuit region was created to protect the endangered vicuna and the area plant. The reserve is also home to some of the planet's most unusual landscapes. Bright white salt flats and the rainbow-colored mineral lakes of Los Lipes are too harsh to support human life. Still, they are a refuge for many rare and endangered South American species, including several large flamingo colonies. A trip here feels like a trip to a strange and beautiful new planet. Number 6, Matiti National Park. Matiti National Park stretches from the Andes to the Amazon. Encompassing over 7,000 square miles, Matiti is known as one of the most biologically diverse parks in the world. Visitors to Matiti may spot an elusive jaguar, a giant otter, or the titi monkey, a species of monkey found nowhere else in the world. More than 11% of the planet's 9,000 species of birds can be found in Matiti National Park. Number 7, Jesuit Missions of Chiquitos. This region consists of six mission towns founded by a few Jesuit priests in the 17th and 18th centuries. While Jesuit missions in Paraguay and Argentina have since fallen into disrepair, their Bolivian counterparts remain a vibrant cultural force, set against a frontier town backdrop straight out of the 1986 Robert de Niro film, The Mission. These towns can be visited in one long tour, or lodging is available. The largest and best known of these mission towns is San Jose de Chiquitos, though they all provide a beautiful example of old Spanish frontier architecture. Number 8, Yungas Road. The world's most dangerous road Yungas Road runs from La Paz to Bolivia's From La Paz, the road climbs to 15,000 feet before descending around 4,000 feet to Coroaco. The road has proved dangerous for vehicles, but Yungas has become a favorite travel attraction for mountain bikers who rave about the 40-mile-long stretch of downhill riding. Number 9, Oro Carnival. Each year in Oro, just before Ash Wednesday, the city of Oro hosts the Carnival de Oro, one of South America's most important folkloric and cultural events. The festival features over 28,000 dancers, performing a wide variety of ethnic dances. Around 10,000 musicians accompany the dancers. Unlike the Carnival in Rio, where a new theme is chosen each year, the Carnival in Oro always begins with the Diablo or Devil Dance. It retains most of the artistic expression coming from pre-Columbian America. At last in the list, Number 10, Tiwanaku. Located near the southeastern shore of Lake Titicaca in Bolivia, Tiwanaku is one of the most important precursors to the Inca Empire. The community grew to urban proportions between the 7th and 9th centuries, becoming an important regional power in the southern Andes. At its peak, the city had between 15,000 to 30,000 inhabitants. While only a small part has been excavated, Tiwanaku represents pre-Inca South America's greatest megalithic architectural achievement. Today it is one of the top tourist attractions in Bolivia.
