Free-time activities
In addition to volunteer and internship opportunities, there is a lot to see and do in Bolivia. If you are in for some action you can descend a zipline in the middle of the jungle, ride a bicycle down the steep Yungas road or sail a boat on Lake Titicaca. Are you looking for something more relaxing or
cultural? You can submerge yourself in one of the country's many hot springs, take a break in the turquoise lagoon, admire the constructions of the Pre-Colombian Tiwanaku Empire or the Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt flat in the world.
