Highlights
The Uyuni Salt Flats Tour departs from San Pedro de Atacama and ends in the town of Uyuni, making it a perfect choice if you’ll be extending your trip while in Bolivia.
We work with the best guides and use top-quality accommodations available in the area. For three days you’ll travel in 4x4 through the natural wonders of the Altiplano: the Salvador Dalí desert, the Polque Hot Springs, the Eduardo Avaroa Natural Reserve, the spectacular altiplanic lagoons, and then finish the tour in Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt desert in the world. At the Salar, take in one of the most magical sunrises that exist and experience the captivating immensity of the salt desert.
The tour offers two lodging options: a shared or private room. Should you select a shared room, the second night’s stay will be in a private room at a salt hostel. Yes, you read that right :)
Itinerary
DAY 1 - San Pedro de Atacama - Green and Red Lagoons - Villa Mar
San Pedro de Atacama
3 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeThe Uyuni Salt Flats tour departing from San Pedro de Atacama starts with a 7:00 AM pick-up from your accommodations. When the whole group has been collected, the shuttle bus will begin its journey to the Bolivian border. Once there, you’ll meet your driver, stamp passports, eat breakfast, and load all your luggage onto the rugged 4x4. Then, the adventure begins!Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve of Andean Fauna
3 hoursAdmission Ticket Not IncludedWhite Lagoon and Green Lagoon: Upon entering Bolivia, you’ll cross directly into the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve, where most of the day’s stops will be. The first is White Lagoon, located at the foot of the Licancabur Volcano, one of the most beautiful sights on this three-day tour. The tour continues with stops at the Green Lagoon, then crosses the Salvador Dali Desert (an overwhelming expansive plateau surrounded by imposing mountains, reminiscent of the famous painter’s works).Aguas Termales de Polques
3 hoursAdmission Ticket Not IncludedPolque Hot Springs - Geysers: The trail continues to the Polque Hot Springs, where you’ll soak in a pool of natural thermal water with the crisp cold air around you. You’ll thoroughly enjoy this relaxing experience! Before we move on, you’ll eat lunch with the whole group a few meters from the hot springs where the panoramic views of the surrounding landscape are on display. After lunch, we’ll continue to the Sol de La Mañana Geyser Field, an area covered in fumaroles and small geysers.Laguna Colorada
3 hoursAdmission Ticket Not IncludedRed Lagoon: The final stop of the first day is the Red Lagoon, the best-known and one of the most photographed sights in the Salt Flat. You’ll walk along a path parallel to the shore of the lagoon and see it up close to observe the immense colony of flamingos inhabiting it. When you’ve got your fill, the group will head to Villa Mar, where dinner will be served with your group, and you’ll spend the night in a shared or private room, according to your specific reservation request.- AccommodationsHostel near Red Lagoon (shared or private room in Hostal Villa Mar)Food And DrinksBreakfastLunchDinner
DAY 2 - Villa Mar - Valley of Rocks - Salt Hotel in Colcha K
Valle De Rocas
2 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedValley of Rocks - Lost Italia: At 8:00 AM sharp, after breakfast, you’ll visit two areas known for their rock formations, the Valley of Rocks and Lost Italy. They are becoming increasingly popular with travelers for their whimsical shapes with one in particular: The Camel.Laguna Vinto
3 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeBlack Lagoon: Lunchtime is approaching, and as we walk around the last lagoon we’ll be visiting on the tour (the Black Lagoon or Hidden Lagoon) we search for llamas. In this area, it is very common to find them in the small green valley leading to the lagoon. In the meantime, our driver will prepare lunch and at 1:00 PM we’ll sit down to eat at the "rolling restaurant".Siloli Desert
3 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeAnaconda Canyon - Sora Wetland: The tour continues with the route to the Anaconda Canyon. The canyon effortlessly displays the immensity of the Bolivian Altiplano, with its glistening river snaking across the valley floor. To see the canyon in its entirety, you'll have to hike to lookout points, which may not be to the liking of travelers with a fear of heights. We won’t judge anyone who prefers to hang back a little. Following the canyon visit, we’ll make our way to the next accommodations by passing the Bofedal (a high-altitude wetland) of Sora, where you’ll see llamas, vicuñas, and maybe some foxes.Hotel De Sal "Tambo Loma" - Colcha K
3 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedReturn to the accommodations: After two days on the road, we’ll stop at an idyllic local shop, a favorite of the locals, where you can relax with a few beers (some made from quinoa!) and if technology permits, connect to Wi-Fi. At sunset, we’ll arrive at the best salt hotel in the area, Tambo Loma Salt Hotel. Dine with sweeping views of the altiplano and rest in rooms entirely made of salt.- AccommodationsBest salt hostel in the area (Hotel de Sal Tambo Loma)Food And DrinksBreakfastLunchDinner

Uyuni Salt Flat
2 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeUyuni Salt Flats: Rise and shine! The sunrise won’t wait, so at 5:00 AM, the group will set off for the Uyuni Salt Flats. Make yourself comfortable, wrap up warm, and wait just a few minutes to experience one of the most magical sunrises in the world.Isla Incahuasi
3 hoursAdmission Ticket Not IncludedIncahuasi Island: You’ll continue exploring the salt flat and visit Incahuasi Island. This place is home to a unique ecosystem full of giant cacti and, thanks to its elevation, is one of the best places to take in the views of the salt flat and snap more pictures of the Salar de Uyuni. Please note that during the rainy season, the island may not be accessible if the area is too flooded. However, the rain brings about the "mirror effect" on the salt flat, which you will get to experience. One way or another, nature is very kind to us. You’ll eat breakfast on the island overlooking the immense salt flat, then you’ll head to the next stop on the tour: a photo session in the Salar de Uyuni.Colchani
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeUyuni Salt Flats & Colchani - During the rainy season (January-March), you’ll head to the flooded portion of the salt flat to view the surreal mirror effect. Conversely, in the dry season, you’ll be right in the middle of the salt flat to take some amazing pictures. This is where the true depth of your driver’s abilities will be revealed; aside from driving you to every corner of the Salt Flat, and cooking for you on the route, your driver will also help capture unforgettable moments. This man is a jack of all trades!Dakar Monument
2 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedDakar Monument - Island of the Flags: On the way to Colchani, you’ll stop inside the salt flat at the Dakar Sculpture and the famous Island of Flags.
