Next, we'll head toward the village of Colchani to access the Salar de Uyuni salt flat. Along the way, you'll come across some artisanal workshops and a small-scale rustic table salt processor.
Continuing our trip, we'll see Ojos del Salar and the Hotel Sal de Playa Blanca, which operates as a museum. Afterward, the Isla Incahuasi awaits us, where we'll see marine rock fossils and giant cacti.
After enjoying a spectacular sunset in the salt flat, we'll return to the town of Uyuni. Our tour will conclude at the bus station or your drop-off location in the town after a 9-hour tour of this lovely site.
