Discover the Uyuni Salt Flats, the largest salt flat in the world, on a full-day tour from Uyuni. Visit the Train Cemetery, see the salt processing plant in Colchani, and enjoy a local lunch in the middle of the salt flats.

Start your day with a pick-up from your hotel in Uyuni and head to the Uyuni Salt Flats, one of the most famous landscapes in the world. Make a brief stop at the Train Cemetery, full of rusty locomotives where time has stood still since the 1940s.

Stop in Colchani, the town located on the edge of the salt flat, where you can visit a salt processing plant and learn about the main properties of this product, and the artisanal wares which are made from it.

At midday, enter the enormous salt flat which is the same size as Hawaii's 'Big Island'. As you tour the salt flat, witness the process of salt extraction and enjoy a delicious local meal in this unique natural environment.

Once you have regained your strength, visit Incahuasi Island, famous for its giant cacti. Here you'll have 40 minutes of free time to take photos to be the envy of your friends.

The finishing touch to this brilliant adventure is watching the glowing rays of sunset being reflected in the salt flat. This is a sight you will never forget. Finally, end your trip as you return to your hotel in Uyuni.

Note: During the months of January to April, the climatic phenomenon known as highland winter occurs, a rainy period in the central Andes. Due to this, it is possible that the described itinerary will be modified and Incahuasi Island will not be visited, since it is located in the center of the salt flat, a place where there is a greater concentration of water during the rainy period.
