Day 3
Very early in the morning, we will begin our last day of the tour with a view of the sunrise at the Salar de Uyuni. After this experience, we will travel to Incahuasi Island, which contains giant cacti and a limestone rock formation located in the center of the salt flat that we can walk around and have another perspective of the salt flat. We will continue to the Salt Museum and the town of Colchani, outside the salt flat. From here we will travel to Uyuni, passing by the train cemetery, where we will make a short stop to take photos. In Uyuni, we will say goodbye to our driver-guide, who accompanied us during the previous three days, and then we will have some free time to have lunch and tour part of the city.
