Highlights

Uyuni - Salar de Uyuni & Incahuasi Island

Train Cemetery - Duration: 10:30 am to 7:15 pm

We’ll start off by taking a visit to the iconic Train Cemetery in Uyuni. This is the perfect place to capture some timeless photos!

Colchani - Next, we will explore artisan salt factories as they process local salt and bring it to your table. Colchani is great for shopping; ponchos, souvenirs made of salt, and various llama and alpaca-related items can all be purchased there.

Salar de Uyuni - Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat, is a mesmerizing landscape that captivates visitors with its otherworldly beauty. Stretching across vast expanses, it alternates between a reflective mirror during the rainy season and a geometric salt mosaic in the dry season

Isla Incahuasi - NOTE: IN THE RAINY SEASON THERE IS NO SAFE WAY TO REACH INCACHUASI ISLAND OR TUNUPA VOLCANO, WE ONLY VISIT THE SAFE AREA WITH INCREDIBLE REFLECTION VISTAS.

Finally, we’ll embark on an hour-long trek that takes us to the most beautiful island of the Salar: Incachuasi. Here, you will be able to marvel at giant cacti, petrified corals, and get some incredible views that span 360 degrees. Afterward, prepare yourself for an unforgettable picnic lunch right in the middle of the Salar, a perfect way to become intimately acquainted with this destination away from the hustle and bustle of crowds. Before heading back home, don’t forget to take some fun perspective shots with your camera and explore the intricate salt crystals and eyes scattered about!

Sunset in the best spot!

We return to your hotel and take the dinner in a Salt Hotel.

There are a bunch of differents Lagoons (like 6 different ones) we’ll try to visit at least 3. Everything depends on the itinerary you want. Some people preffer a relax one and go faster to the hotel, other customers want to visit the classic route of 4 different Lagoons in the area.

Siloli Desert - Next up is Siloli, an endless expanse of red sand and remarkable formations such as the Stone Tree. This creation was carved by wind and rain over thousands of years.

Laguna Colorada, Geysers, Hot-springs, Dali Desert, Laguna Verde, Uyuni

We’ll choose one of the two main viewpoints, weather permitting, offering breathtaking scenes that blend wildlife with otherworldly landscapes.

Geiser Sol de la Manana - Experience the surreal beauty of the geysers, akin to stepping onto the surface of Mars, where we’ll capture incredible photos, guaranteed.

Aguas Termales de Polques - Next, unwind with a dip in the Polques hot springs, a cozy retreat surrounded by views of volcanoes, flamingos, llamas, vicuñas, and a white lagoon. The plunge is well worth it, even with the chilly exit.

Salvador Dali Desert - We’ll then explore the renowned Dali Desert, where infinite vistas and color-splashed volcanoes stretch around us.

Laguna Verde - Optionally, cap off the journey with a visit to the stunning Green Lagoon and Licancabur Volcano, perched on the Bolivia-Chile border.

Dream trip - We relied on them for the journey from San Pedro to Uyuni and back by car to San Pedro. Everything organized in detail and everything perfect. An applause to the incredible assistance had on site and especially by Sofia who had the patience to exchange with me dozens and dozens of emails. She was exceptional and patient. Guide and driver were very nice, prepared and adapted the tour times to our needs. Wonderful hotels. Tayka is a hotel run by wonderful people. Food level, clean and frankly warm. From that point of view we had a great time. A note to all those who undertake this journey: do not underestimate the altitude. The night in Tayka was baffled by altitude sickness but this depends on individual adaptation I just wanted to emphasize it. A fabulous trip that I would do a thousand times. Choose Visit South America because they were wonderful.
