This 5-day tour takes you from La Paz to Uyuni by overnight bus to explore the Uyuni Salt Flats and the high-altitude lagoons of southwestern Bolivia. Pass the Train Cemetery, the salt village of Colchani and Isla Incahuasi with its giant cacti, then see flamingos and other birds at lagoons surrounded by snow-capped volcanoes. Discover high-plateau landscapes stretching from the early-morning Sol de Mañana geysers and the Polques hot springs to Laguna Verde at the foot of Licancabur Volcano, with an English- and Spanish-speaking guide. Hotel pickup in La Paz, round-trip bus, 2 nights of accommodation and meals during the itinerary are included, and the tour runs in a small group of up to 10 people.
On the first day, you'll be picked up from your hotel in La Paz and board an overnight bus to Uyuni. The bus has reclining seats and a restroom. After about 9 hours on the road, you'll arrive in Uyuni, head to the office for breakfast and start the tour.
The first stop is the Train Cemetery, where old trains remain. Next, see how edible salt is processed by hand at the Uyuni Salt Flats near Colchani, pass the salt mounds and visit Isla Incahuasi in the middle of the flats. After exploring the island with its volcanic rock and giant cacti, travel to the village of San Juan on the far side of the salt flats and spend the night in a shared room.
On day three, after breakfast, head southwest with your guide to visit the Cañapa, Hedionda, Chiarkota, Honda and Ramaditas lagoons. At these lagoons surrounded by snow-capped volcanoes, you can see flamingos, Andean geese, gulls and other birds.
At night, stay in basic accommodation at Laguna Colorada with warm blankets. After dinner, gaze at the stars and the Milky Way under the clear high-altitude sky.
On day four, wake up early to catch the first rays of sunlight at the Sol de Mañana geysers, where volcanic gases rise into the air. Pass the highest point of the road at about 5,000 m, visit Laguna Colorada and the Stone Tree (Árbol de Piedra), then follow the high-plateau road to the Polques hot springs for a soak. Next, cross the Dalí Desert to reach Laguna Verde at the foot of Licancabur Volcano.
Return to Uyuni while observing Andean flora and fauna, arriving at 5:00 PM. After a short break, board the bus to La Paz. You'll arrive in La Paz around 6:00 AM on day five, and the driver will take you to your hotel.
