Description

Explore the world's largest salt desert on a guided bike tour from Uyuni with hotel transfers. Feel like you are flying through the clouds in an expanse of pure white that reflects the blue sky.
The tour will begin with the pick up from your hotel, after a talk about security measures and the route to be taken.
The first stop is the haunting "Train Cemetery", which is located on the outskirts of Uyuni. You will be able to see the first locomotives in Bolivia and learn about their history, which connected several important cities. Now, corroded over time by the strong saline winds that run through this desert area, they constitute a great photographic setting.

Then visit the small settlement of Colchani (salt miners' workshops next to the salt flat), there you will also find crafts made of salt, and textile art made with llama and alpaca wool. They are great souvenirs to take home. Take photos as you navigate the vast white expanse of salt, wade through the "Salt Water Eyes", also visit: a hotel made entirely of salt currently used as a museum, Flags of the world (Where you can bring your own and put it there for free ) and a Monument to the Dakar races.

In a 4WD, we will load the bikes and head towards the largest salt desert, you will visit the salt processing plant, museums and salt hotels.

When you arrive at the Uyuni salt flat, you will put on your helmet and drive in the salt desert, through the large tons of salt, accompanied by a professional guide, the car will follow you so that when you want to rest you can put the bikes in the car and continue the tour.

You will visit the Incahuasi Island, an island famously known for having giant cacti and petrified corals.
You will enjoy a private and unique lunch, in the middle of the Uyuni salt flat, with views of the Tunupa Volcano.
