Trip to La Paz & Salar de Uyuni
Tour Details
Day 1: Night Bus from Cusco to Puno
At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Cusco to make our way to the terminal where we'll take a night bus to Puno, on the coast of Lake Titicaca. We'll then comfortably travel for 7 hours on a bus with reclining seats.
Day 2: Puno – La Paz – Uyuni
Once we arrive in Puno in the morning, you'll have a few hours to rest, grab some breakfast at the terminal's cafe, or use the bathrooms and showers available. Then, we'll take a sightseeing bus that will set out for La Paz on an 8-hour journey.
In La Paz, you'll have a free afternoon to explore the Bolivian capital and El Alto. The perfect way to discover the culture and local life! At night, we'll take a sleeper bus with 160° reclinable seats to Uyuni on a 10-hour journey.
Day 3: Salar de Uyuni
Upon arriving at Uyuni in the morning, we'll take you to a cafe where you can have breakfast and use the restrooms and showers at your disposal. If needed, we can recommend a hostel for you to stay in until the tour begins.
After resting for a few hours, we'll pick you up to visit the Train Cemetery, where we'll explore for about 1 and a half hours. 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.
