Uyuni Salt Flats 3 days deluxe

We start the tour visiting the Train Cemetery, where there are remains from the wagons from the Bolivian Railway Company.

Heading to the Salt Flats we will stop in Colchani town where local shops offer handicrafts and woolen clothes. Here we’ll learn about the salt production of Bolivia.

Entering the Salt Flats we’ll see a very unusual geological effect. Aquifers formed by underground rivers of the big Salar.

We head to Flags square, where we can find many flags from countries all over the world. Here we will see the Dakar Monument as well as the first hotel made out entirely of salt where we’ll enjoy our lunch.

Photo session time! We’ll spend time taking panoramic, perspective and mirror reflection (if available) photos.

In the afternoon, we arrive at Incahuasi Island, the largest island in the salt flats. Here we can find fossils of corals, giant cactus and we can observe Ollagüe volcano.

Later we will observe the sunset in the pink blurred horizon of the salt flats and we head to our salt hotel accommodation.

After breakfast we move to San Juan, a small village where we will have a moment to buy snacks for the day and use toilets.

As we enter the desertic region, we will observe the Ollague Volcano (active) which is sacred for indigenous communities.

Salty lagoons ahead! We continue driving to the Andean lagoons of Cañapa, Hedionda, Chiarcota and Honda. Wildlife such as pink flamingos, Andean ducks and seagulls are easy to photograph here. Lunch will be served near Laguna Hedionda.

After lunch we will enter to one of the driest deserts on earth. The Siloli desert is at 6000 masl of elevation. This place is home to the famous Stone Tree.

We will enter to the National Park with more visitors in Bolivia. The day doesn’t end until we visit the Red Lagoon and see the pink flamingos living there. Finishing the day, we arrive to Tayka del Desierto Hotel.

We wake up very early to observe the sunrise in Sol de Mañana geysers activity, then we go to Polkes hot springs where we can swim in these thermal waters.

We head to Dali desert, a surrealistic destination that resembles the iconic paintings of Salvador Dalí.

Later, we’ll visit the Green Lagoon, which is also located next to the Licancabur Volcano, a natural border with Chile.

After we arrive at the border checkpoint of Hito Cajones, we start our way back to Uyuni, stop at a small town for lunch and then visit the Valley of the Rocks, which is an astonishing place of rock formations.

Later we drive to San Cristobal Village, the last village before Uyuni, where there is a church from the XVI century. We arrive in Uyuni at around 17:30.
