Unforgettable Day Tours in Uyuni Salt Flats and Beyond - My wife and I spent five days in Uyuni and were fortunate to have Mario from Uyuni Trans Andino as our private driver-guide for two full-day tours. He looked after us with genuine care, patience, and kindness.
We explored the salt flats and the stunning landscapes beyond Uyuni, including beautiful lagoons and flamingos. Mario is very knowledgeable and professional, which made the experience both enjoyable and informative. Even better, he is a fantastic photographer who helped us capture amazing memories. The pace was relaxed, just the way we like it, and we were able to visit all the places we were interested in. Everything we saw was truly spectacular.
From the moment he picked us up at our hotel to the time he dropped us off, we felt completely looked after and in good hands.
We highly recommend Mario to anyone planning to visit Uyuni.

A wonderful experience. - I was in May 2025 in Uyuni with my family and did the 1 day tour with the Transandino and it was a wonderful experience. The guide Armando was very attentive, helpful and also gave all the necessary information about the places we passed, without being invasive. I highly recommend the agency.

Surreal experience - 100% recommended! - We had an excellent tour to and on the salt flats with Mario. He was a very funny and knowledgeable guide, who (seemingly) effortlessly navigated around the salt flats. And to top it off, he is a very skilled photographer ensuring priceless memories of the day. The lunch at the salt flats was really cool with not a soul around and the food was great. Mario made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour and even though we had to stop early due to illness, we were very satisfied with our experience.

Incredible Salt Flats with an incredible guide! - This is honestly one of the best tours we’ve ever done. Our guide, Mario, was amazing. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The salt flats were beautiful and the sunset was the most breathtaking we’ve ever seen. The private lunch and wine at sunset were an excellent bonus. We couldn’t recommend this tour more!

Smooth journey with good service ! - We did a private tour at Uyuni salt flat for one day. Oscar was kind and gave us a lot of insight of Bolivian history and information about the town of Uyuni. The tour company also assisted us in getting our bus tickets for the same day from Uyuni onward to Potosi. All the arrangements were done smoothly and as expected. Highly recommended while visiting Uyuni.

Salar de Uyuni - 1 day trip - Family trip to Bolivia with Salar de Uyuni as a focal point. I found Tours TransAndino online and connected with them via email then WhatsApp. They made communication easy and were very responsive.
We did the day tour for 7 people (two vehicles) with Mario and Ariel. It was AMAZING!! Mario is very knowledgeable of the area and took unforgettable pictures of my family throughout the excursion. The lunch meal was good and the sunset snack/wine was great. My entire family was very pleased with this unforgettable experience. Highly recommended
