You'll share the tour with other travelers from different parts of the world, making each stop an opportunity to exchange stories and make new friends while passing through truly spectacular natural settings.
Day 1
The adventure begins with a pick-up from your hotel or the Uyuni bus terminal around 10:30 AM. From there, we'll head to the iconic Train Cemetery, an open-air space where old locomotives and rusty wagons rest in the middle of the Altiplano, creating a setting full of history and unique photographs. Considered one of the largest in the world, this place reflects the region's railway past.
Continuing the tour, we will enter the vast Uyuni Salt Flat, crossing the so-called salt eyes, small natural formations that spring from the depths of the salt flat, as well as the Dakar monument, a symbol of the passage of this renowned international competition. The white and infinite surroundings of the salt flats will be the perfect backdrop for creating amazing visual effects and creative photographs.
We will also visit Incahuasi Island (Not available during the rainy season: January, February, March). Giant cacti up to 10 m high are found on Incahuasi Island. This island is the largest of the group of islets located in the center of Salar de Uyuni. There is a tourist front desk on the island, which belongs to the association of municipalities of Llica and Tahua, in whose territory the island is located. This center charges an admission ticket of 30 Bs. (Optional) for visitors to access a well-marked and easily walkable trail that runs around the island and allows them to enjoy the views over the salt flat, the cobalt blue sky, and the hundreds of cacti.
In late afternoon, we'll head to the areas with water mirrors to watch the sunset, when the sky is reflected on the surface of the salt flat and creates the sensation of walking among clouds. After enjoying this magical moment, we'll head to our hostel to rest.
Day 2
After breakfast, we'll depart at approximately 9:30 AM for more exploration. We'll visit the Mining Museum in the Pulacayo community, where we'll learn about the historical significance of mining activity in Bolivia. Later, we'll arrive at the community of Tomave to appreciate its colonial church, an architectural gem surrounded by Andean landscapes.
The tour continues to the hot springs, where you'll have time to relax in natural waters and recharge your batteries. During the journey, it will be common to see typical highland fauna, such as vicuñas, llamas, and sheep, ideal for photographs in their natural habitat. Later, we'll visit the Laguna Verde, the Laguna Orko Kasilla, and the Nuevo Mundo area, and finally enter stunning desert landscapes, where the colors and tranquility of the surroundings bring this unforgettable experience to a close.
