Amazing vistas and safe travel - A very nice trip that covers most of the Uyuni and the Altiplano sights. Had a very good car and an experienced driver/guide, Edchy, who navigated the off-road conditions with expert calm and safety! The service was first class with that little extra effort thrown in. Can really recommend the tour and the company if you need to go from Uyuni to San Pedro. Ask for Edchy as your driver!

Just the most wow tour ever - The most wonderful tour ever. I had dreamed of this place for years and it was my personal gift for my 50th birthday and for my daughter’s 20th. And wow!! It was just amazing, from the moment we arrived to the moment we got in San Pedro. Of course the scenery is incredible and it takes your breath away but it is really the way everything was organized, the hotels, the food, the surprises along the way every day that made it even more beautiful. And most importantly it was our guide, Edchy, who made us feel super special, cared for and extremely safe. He made it very awesome for us. He took photos of us, made sure we were fine, helped us with border patrols…I really hope you get to meet him. Also, I had read all the horror stories about accidents and freezing nights and hard traveling conditions, but this tour was just the opposite. Great guide, great car, great atmosphere, best time and memories for ever. There are no words that could express my gratitude, thank you.

Outstanding scenery on a well run tour - Our 3 day 2 night tour with a private 4x4 and en suite rooms was arranged via Ruta Verde agency who were very good. They contracted Mundicontact Expeditions for the tour. And very glad we were that we did. We had agreed no guide was needed, and as it would be a driver only, Spanish speaking. Edchy was a driver and was wonderful. Safe driving, constantly courteous opening my wife's car door and as helpful as he could be explaining lakes, volcanoes and mountains as he could be in Spanish with our limited understanding. We have visited salt lakes in other countries, and volcanic areas, so have quite a deep knowledge but Edchy was always keen to be assured of our understanding and appreciation of the tour. And what sites, Laguna Verde, Desierto de Siloli and of course Uyuni salt flats to name just three outstanding features. And Uyuni, just spectacular with Edchy's help for the quirky photos made possible by the salt flat surfaces. Excellent company throughout.

Breathtaking trip with a friendly driver and many sights! - We were picked up at the bus terminal immediately after arriving in Uyuni and taken to a café where we were able to have breakfast (at our own expense). It was a bit strange that the taxi driver then drove off with our luggage in the trunk, but he came back at the agreed time (including luggage) and helped us load our things into the actual off-road vehicle for the tour. From there we were on the road with our great guide/driver Eddy. He first drove us to the locomotive graveyard (about 20 minutes stop), then to a salt museum and finally out to the Salar de Uyuni, where we were able to take great photos and marvel at salt figures. After a picnic in the middle of the salt plain, we went to our hotel (Luna Salada) for 1-2 hours to rest. In the late afternoon, Eddy drove us to a place where the salt plain was covered in water and therefore everything reflected beautifully. After sunset we went back to the hotel (very good dinner/buffet!). On the second day (after a great breakfast buffet in the hotel) we set off towards San Cristóbal. On the way we saw several herds of vinicunas and colorful quinoa fields. After a short stop in San Cristóbal (10-15 minutes, toilet facilities!) we continued southwest, through the bizarre Valle de Rocas, past many volcanoes to the Laguna Hedionda with its many flamingos, where we enjoyed our lunch (together with Eddy). Then we headed south again, further up into the high valleys and past several salt lakes (short stops of 5-10 minutes each) to our accommodation for the second night, the Hotel Tayka Desierto. On the third day we had to set off early (6:30) because our guide had received information that the border crossing to Chile (Hito Cajón) would only be open until ~1:00 p.m. There was a lot to marvel at on the way there: interesting stone formations around the Arbol de Piedra, fumaroles/mud pots, the Laguna Colorada, Lagunas Verde/Blanco and lots of volcanic mountains and wide, barren valleys. Despite the tight schedule, there was fortunately time for a swim in the 36-degree (open-air) pools of the Termas de Polques (6 Bs entry) with a great view of the Laguna de Chaviri - an absolute highlight! At the border with Chile, our guide helped us with the formalities, then we had to say goodbye and were taken to Dan Pedro by minibus. Incidentally, we did not have to pay the ~20 Bs "exit fee" that is often demanded by the Bolivian border officials. We booked the tour through the provider Ruta Verde and were very satisfied with the organization and execution overall, even though the last day was quite stressful. Many, many thanks to Eddy, who always kept us on schedule without being unfriendly and guided us safely over difficult trails! Gracias!

Easily the highlight of our entire South American trip - Absolutely incredible 3 day trip! We were picked up at the airport by Lily (the guide) and Nestor (the driver), and we couldn't believe how many incredible things we saw in the 3 days. Both Lily and Nestor were super helpful and kind, the accomodation is terrific (and the food is excellent), and it was always super clear about where we were heading and what was happening. Lily is also amazing at taking pictures and making us look super cool, haha. Like another reviewer, we also booked via Ruta Verde. Pre-booking, we thought the cost was high, but I can guarantee you get so much more value than we thought to cross the Salar de Uyuni and Bolivian altiplano.

Three Day Private Tour Uyuni Salt Flats with transfer to San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. - I can not rate this tour and this tour company highly enough. My son and I both had the Salar de Uyuni on our bucket list and planned for February, the rainy season, to see the gorgeous mirror effect of the water in the salt flat. Next, I had to research and select the tour company for our adventure. Believe me, I read all the reviews and looked at all of the pictures. I chose Mundicontact because they were big enough to have great reviews and small enough to really care about each client. My communication with Doris ahead of the trip was very complete and very professional. We arrived in Uyuni at 6:45 AM on the night bus from La Paz and our guide Poli met us at the station. We had time to stop at a cafe for coffee and breakfast and to freshen up before getting on the road. The day at the Salar de Uyuni was magical and easily the most beautiful place on earth that I have visited. Poli set up both a delicious lunch and Happy Hour. The trick photos were fun but the setting is amazing. The Luna Salada is a quite nice hotel for the first night. Tayka del desierto the 2nd night was not as rustic as others have written and has great food. The border transfer was seamless. Thanks Poli and Mundicontact…it was wonderful.

Excellent Tour but be careful of Altitude Sickness - We just completed this three day tour through Ruta Verde Tours and the local provider was Mundicontact and the guide and driver were Jahni and Rodrigo, respectively. The tour itself was conducted very professionally and Jahno had the answers to even the most obscure questions that we gave her. This is as very active tour with many stops punctuated by long drives, so please be aware. Having said that, we asked for several deviations and Jhani adapted accordingly. The salt flats were amazing, with food and wine at the end, and the other days with geysers, flamingoes, and rock formations were real highlights as well. The salt hotel on the first night and the highest hotel on earth (really) on the second were treats as well. I have only resisted giving this tour top marks because of the elevation, which is of course not their fault. The second hotel is is 4300 feet above sea level and the last day we reached over 4500. At these levels we needed to go very slowly and experienced a lot of wheezing and and dizzyness. If you can undertake alitutide training (?) of some sort that is advised. We spent a week at lower altitudes before and that helped, but only a bit. Good luck!
