What to expect

Experience the magic of the Uyuni Salt Flats on this 3-day trip from La Paz!

Day 1 – Bus to Uyuni
You'll meet your guide for departure near the bus terminal of La Paz and hit the road to Uyuni. You will be served dinner and breakfast onboard.

Day 2 – Uyuni Salt Flats

Upon arrival in Uyuni city, enjoy some free time to walk around before departure for the Salt Flats at 10.30 am. The first stop is the haunting "Train Graveyard’ where you'll see the first locomotives in Bolivia, and learn about their history. Now corroded from the strong salt winds, this is a great photo setting! Next, you'll visit the small settlement of Colchani where you'll find handicrafts made of salt, and textile art manufactured of llama and alpaca wool. Cruise along the vast white expanse of salt, wade through “Ojos de Agua Salada” and visit a hotel made completely out of salt. After a morning of exploration, lunch will be served near “Isla Incahuasi” (Fish Island). Then you'll have free time to hike to the top of the island to see giant cacti, and rock formations made of petrified coral. Take fun perspective- and proportion-distorted photos set on the blinding white surface of the salt flats! Top off your day with a beautiful sunset over the salt flats and a glass of wine. You'll be back in Uyuni around 7.00 pm and embark at 9.00 pm for La Paz.

Day 3 – Bus to La Paz
You'll arrive at 6.30 am in La Paz where the tour ends.
