From Uyuni: 2-Day Uyuni Salt Flat Tour with Sunset Reflections, Hot Springs & English Guide

Start at the Train Cemetery and
head into the heart of the Uyuni Salt Flat

The tour starts around 10:30 a.m. at the operator's office in Uyuni. First, explore the Train Cemetery, where old locomotives and rusty carriages lie on the plateau, and learn about the region's railway history. You travel together in one vehicle with travelers from around the world.

Then enter the vast salt flat and pass the Ojos de Sal, where water bubbles up from beneath the salt crust, and the Dakar Rally Monument. The endless white landscape is a great backdrop for perspective photos.

Visit Incahuasi Island and watch the sunset over the reflections

Stop at Incahuasi Island, home to giant cacti up to 10 m tall. If you buy an entrance ticket (30 bolivianos, optional) at the island's visitor desk, you can follow well-marked trails overlooking the salt flat and the cactus forest.

In the late afternoon, move to an area where water reflects the sky to watch the sunset. Then head to the accommodation for dinner and rest.

Explore the mining museum, hot springs and highland lagoons

On day two, leave around 9:30 a.m. after breakfast and learn about the history of Bolivian mining at the mining museum in Pulacayo. In the village of Tomave, see a colonial-era church surrounded by Andean scenery.

Next, relax in natural hot springs; along the way you may see highland animals such as vicuñas, llamas and sheep. Pass Laguna Verde, Orko Khasiya Lagoon and the Nuevo Mundo area, and finish the tour amid desert scenery.

※ Incahuasi Island cannot be visited in the rainy season (January to March) due to high water.
※ Reflections on the salt flat appear only when there is water, so they may vary with weather and season.
※ Wildlife lives in the wild, so sightings cannot be guaranteed.
