across the Uyuni Salt Flats and the Altiplano

After pickup from your hotel in Uyuni, Uyuni Airport or the Uyuni bus terminal, the tour departs at 10:30 AM. You'll cross the Uyuni Salt Flats and the Bolivian Altiplano in a shared 4x4 vehicle, spend two nights in hostels and return to Uyuni on the evening of the third day.

Enjoy the salt flats and Incahuasi Island until sunset

On the first day, stop at the Train Cemetery with its old locomotives and the village of Colchani, where you can see traditional salt processing. In Colchani you can also browse salt crafts and alpaca and llama wool products. Then drive across the white salt flats to visit the Ojos de Sal, Playa Blanca, the Salt Hotel Museum, the Flags of the World and the Dakar Monument.

On Incahuasi Island, walk the trail between giant cacti and ancient coral formations and enjoy panoramic views. Take perspective photos on the salt flats and watch the sunset with wine and chips. The first night is spent at a salt hostel in Atulcha.

Visit Andean lagoons with flamingos and the Red Lagoon

On the second day, set off after breakfast at 7:00 AM. Cross the Chiguana Desert surrounded by colorful mountains, stop briefly at a viewpoint of Ollagüe Volcano, and look for flamingos along the mineral-rich shores of the Cañapa, Hedionda and Chiarkota lagoons.

In the Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve, take in landscapes of mountains, deserts and lagoons. Pass through the Siloli Desert, home to the Stone Tree sculpted by wind and erosion, and arrive at Laguna Colorada (Red Lagoon) with its striking reddish water to look for flamingos. The second night is spent at a hostel in Huayllajara or Polques, depending on availability.

Return to Uyuni via geysers and hot springs
