Tupiza
This walkable town in Bolivia's Potosí Department, Tupiza sits among dramatic red escarpments rising from arid terrain, with the Tupiza River running nearby and green agricultural land along its banks. The centre has a real café and restaurant scene, and the town serves as a practical base for reaching the Salar de Uyuni and surrounding mining districts. Buses and a north-south train connect it to Potosí, Villazón, and the Argentine border.
