Uyuni Salt Flat Tour: A day full of wonders
Departure:
The tour starts at 10:30 from where you are staying in Uyuni or from the SaltParadise office.
Train Cemetery
Just 10 minutes from downtown Uyuni, this first stop takes you back in time. Learn about the history of the locomotives abandoned after the decline of mining in Bolivia and enjoy an ideal place for unique photographs.
Town of Colchani
Discover life in this picturesque village near the salt flat, where the inhabitants are dedicated to the extraction of salt and the creation of local handicrafts. Here you can observe traditional salt harvesting methods and take home authentic souvenirs.
Salt Monuments
Step into the salt flat and see sculptures made entirely of salt, such as a pyramid, an Andean condor and more. These works reflect the creativity and ingenuity of the region, ideal for capturing unforgettable memories.
Incahuasi Island (Cactus Reserve)
Visit this impressive island in the middle of the salt flat, home to giant cacti up to 12 meters high. Hike its trails to the top to enjoy a spectacular panoramic view and learn about the history of this ancient island that was once a refuge for local wildlife.
Playa Blanca Salt Hotel
This former hotel built entirely of salt blocks now serves as a museum. Explore its unique architecture and learn about the history of tourism in the Salar de Uyuni while taking pictures of its unique structure.
Salt Eyes
Continue to the fascinating "Ojos de Sal", small pools where subway water emerges through the salt layer. These bubbling formations are a sign of the geothermal activity that keeps the salt flat "alive".
Sunset in the Salar
The tour culminates with the spectacular sunset, a magical moment when the sky and the salt flat merge in a perfect reflection. This spectacle of lights and colors is an experience you will not forget.
