[Advice] 10-Day Bolivia Itinerary (Santa Cruz -> Sucre -> Uyuni -> La Paz)

Hi everyone! I just booked my flights for Bolivia this May, and I’ve put together the following itinerary. I’d love to get your opinion on the pace, and I have a few questions regarding bus logistics between cities.

Since my flight times basically "eat up" the arrival and departure days, I’ve planned the trip based on full days.

Day 1: Arrival in Santa Cruz de la Sierra

• Logistics: Arrive at VVI airport at 20:25. Transfer to hotel and rest.

Day 2: Santa Cruz & Flight to Sucre

• Morning/Afternoon: Currency exchange (parallel/blue market) + Plaza 24 de Septiembre and the Cathedral.
• Flight: Short afternoon flight to Sucre (2,810m) to begin acclimatization.

Day 3: Sucre - The White City

• Afternoon: Explore the colonial historic center.
• Highlight: Sunset on the rooftops of San Felipe Neri Convent (looking for those high-contrast white dome shots).

Day 4: Sucre & Cal Orck’o

• Morning: Cal Orck’o (Cretaceous Park) to see the massive cliff with over 5,000 dinosaur footprints.
• Afternoon: ASUR Indigenous Art Museum + Sunset at Mirador de la Recoleta.

Day 5: Potosí & Transfer to Uyuni

• Morning: Bus or Trufi (shared taxi) to Potosí (3h trip, climbing to 4,060m). Visit San Lorenzo Church.
• Afternoon: Casa Nacional de la Moneda (Colonial Mint Museum).
• Evening: 4h bus to Uyuni. Overnight stay in Uyuni to rest before the expedition.

Day 6: Salar de Uyuni Expedition (Day 1/3)

• Train Cemetery, Colchani, and Salt Flat. Overnight in a Salt Hotel.

Day 7: Salar de Uyuni Expedition (Day 2/3)

• Altiplanic lagoons (flamingos) and Laguna Colorada.

Day 8: Salar de Uyuni Expedition (Day 3/3)

• Sol de Mañana Geysers, Laguna Verde, and return to Uyuni.
• Logistics: 21:00 night bus (Todo Turismo) to La Paz.

Day 9: La Paz

• Morning: Explore the city via Teleférico (Red and Purple lines for the best views).
• Afternoon: Witches' Market and Calle Sagarnaga.
• Evening: Attend Cholitas Wrestling.

Day 10: Departure

• Logistics: 09:00 transfer to El Alto Airport (LPB) for the 12:00 flight to São Paulo.

My main questions:

1. Is this itinerary realistic? Is it too rushed, or is the pace okay?
2. Buses: Can I buy all my bus tickets on the spot at the terminals? I’m particularly worried about the Sucre -> Potosí -> Uyuni connection.
3. Uyuni Tour: I’m planning to book it before the trip. I’m currently talking to local agencies. What's a fair price? I’m open to recommendations for reliable agencies.

Thanks in advance for your help!
