Itinerary
Uyuni Full Day Tour
Pick up
The tour starts at 10:30 AM. Pick-up from the bus terminal and within the city of Uyuni is included. We also coordinate airport pick-up.
Train Cemetery
Begin your journey with a visit to the Train Cemetery, just outside Uyuni. See Bolivia's first locomotives and discover the history that connects them to important cities across the country.
Colchani
Continue to the small settlement of Colchani, home to salt miners and artisans. Explore local salt workshops and browse handcrafted souvenirs made from salt, llama wool, and alpaca fiber.
Salt Water Eyes (Ojos de Agua Salada)
Travel across the vast white expanse of the Salar de Uyuni and stop to explore the Salt Water Eyes, natural holes in the surface where underground saltwater bubbles up.
Salt Hotel
Visit a hotel made entirely of salt, now functioning as a museum and restaurant. Learn about its unique construction using salt blocks.
Incahuasi Island
Known for its towering cacti and panoramic views. After lunch, hike to the island's summit to admire coral rock formations and the endless salt horizon. In rainy season it could be closed.
Fun Perspective Photos
Time for creativity! Take advantage of the flat, white surface of the salt flat to capture fun and distorted perspective photos — a must-do on any Salar visit (available in dry season).
Sunset Over the Salt Flats
End the day watching a spectacular sunset over the Salar. During the rainy season, witness the famous mirror effect. In the dry season, enjoy the classic salt hexagons and vast white landscape.
Important Notes
Please notify us of any dietary restrictions or preferences when making your reservation
A basic vegetarian meal option is available upon request.
During the rainy season, Incahuasi Island may be inaccessible due to flooding. In this case, the tour will visit alternative sites such as the Monuments.
