Full Day UYUNI SALT TOUR

Take the flight La Paz to Uyuni (booked on your own). Upon arrival at the Uyuni airport, transfer to the amazing Uyuni Salt Flats, the world’s largest salt desert with an expanse of more than 12,000 square km (7,455 sq. mi).

On your way, visit the cemetery of trains. Here you can take playful and even artistic pictures on board the remains of 19th and 20th century steam locomotives. Next, visit the town of Colchani (20 min. from Uyuni) to learn the artisanal salt extraction process from local artisans, and maybe even purchase Uyuni salt. Along the way, see piles of extracted salt, and the “ojos del salar” or mineralized water springs bursting out of the salt flats.

The next stop is Incahuasi Island located amidst the Uyuni salt flats. It is an oasis with a unique and isolated ecosystem where giant cacti thrive (up to 10m. or 32ft. high). Afterwards, enjoy a unique picnic experience, as lunch will be served in the middle of the salt flats. This is the perfect time to play with proportion and perspective in your photographs.

After lunch, you will travel to the Tunupa Volcano to explore its Pre-Columbian ruins and mummies and then to the Chantani Museum. Afterwards, witness an amazing sunset and transfer back to the airport to take your flight Uyuni – La Paz (booked on your own).
