About the Tour

The Uyuni Salt Flats Full Day Tour immerses you in one of the most surreal and photogenic landscapes on the planet. At more than 3,600 meters above sea level, the largest salt desert in the world offers an infinite white canvas that contrasts with deep blue skies and unique geological formations.

Aboard conditioned 4x4 vehicles, this full-day expedition is designed to maximize your time, covering the most emblematic landmarks of the region, ending with a magical moment: the spectacular sunset over the salt flat.

Places to Visit and Main Attractions:

  • Train Cemetery: A post-apocalyptic setting where old locomotives from the 19th century rest rusty in the middle of the highland desert. Ideal for artistic photographs.
  • Colchani Town: The entrance door to the salt flat. Here we will observe the process of extraction and artisanal refinement of salt, in addition to visiting the local museum built entirely with blocks of salt.
  • Incahuasi Island: A surprising oasis of volcanic rock and fossilized coral in the center of the salt flat, inhabited by giant cacti that exceed 10 meters in height.
  • Picnic and Sunset in the Salt Flats: We will enjoy an exclusive lunch in the middle of the white immensity, followed by a perspective photo session and contemplation of a sunset that will leave you breathless.
