Uyuni Salt Flat 4-Day Tour

Day 1

We'll pick you up at your hotel in San Pedro de Atacama. Then, we'll leave Chile behind and head to the border with Bolivia. Get ready to see some of the country's most beautiful landscapes!

Hop on our 4x4 as we venture into the Bolivian highlands, crossing borders to admire the mesmerizing Laguna Verde and Laguna Blanca, two salt lakes nestled in the Eduardo Avaroa National Park. Fun fact: They sit at a whopping 4,300 meters (14,107 feet) above sea level!

Next up, we'll delve into the Salvador Dalí Desert, a landscape painted with hues that will remind you of legendary Spanish artist's masterpieces. Then, we'll journey to the Morning Sun Geyser, an ideal spot to explore the volcanic wonders of this natural park

Plus, we'll pass through Laguna Colorada before visiting the community of Mallcu Villa Mar, where we'll spend our first night. Rest up!

Day 2

After a filling breakfast and with newfound energy, we'll start the second day traveling to see the pre-Inca cave paintings of the Quechua culture!

Later, we'll marvel at the Valley of Rocks, a place where you can let your imagination fly while admiring the rock formations throughout the park. We'll also visit a small Chiguana salt flat.

Finally, we'll end the day at the hotel.

Day 3

After breakfast, we'll enter the heart of the famous Uyuni Salt Flat. First, we'll hike around Incahuasi Island to admire its enormous cacti, the Pilas de Sal, the Ojos de Sal, and the first hotel, which is made entirely of salt.

Afterward, we'll visit the indigenous community of Colchani, where we'll see how its population works with iodized salt following centuries-old techniques. To complete the day, we'll visit the Train Cemetery, a place where locomotives have accumulated over the past centuries, creating an eerie yet beautiful landscape.

Finally, we'll take you to the village of Villa Mar, where a well-deserved rest in a salt hotel awaits us.
