• Go trekking through Bolivia’s large range of geographical regions and climates, including ancient Inca routes.
• Hurtle down 'the world's most dangerous road' on a mountain bike. Starting from the Bolivian Andes outside of La Paz , descend rapidly down twisting mountain roads into the Yungas jungle. Various companies organise the trip, including the hire of professional bikes and equipment.
• Venture into the Amazon jungle. Typical jungle trips include motorised canoe trips, rainforest walks and camping, led by local guides who have an intimate knowledge of the indigenous plants and wildlife.
• Climb the Cordillera Real, which has several peaks above 5,000m (14,500ft). Climbing excursions (complete with mules, porters and guides) can also be booked in Sorata, which is set in a beautiful valley with an abundance of trees and flowers.
• Ski in what is reputedly the world’s highest ski resort: Mount Chacaltaya, at an altitude of 5,486m (18,000ft). The best time to attempt skiing here is from April to June.
• Attend one of the most extraordinary and faithful expressions of folklore in South America. The famous Carnival, held every year, is at its most loved in Oruro, at the Diablada. It is often viewed as one of the world's last 'authentic' cultural celebrations.
• Purchase a Pachamama, a talisman that represents Mother Earth, and is thought to guarantee safety.
• Take a drive through the clouds and admire some of Bolivia's spectacular mountain scenery.
