COPA Air is the national airline of Panama. It is a member of the Star Alliance and partners with United and US Airways. It has put Santa Cruz, Bolivia, on sale. While we don’t know much about Santa Cruz, one of our team members just returned from Salar de Uyuni and she described it as unBoliviable! (And yes, while getting to Salar de Uyuni isn’t easy, Santa Cruz helps get you a bit closer).
