Your tour starts at 10:30 AM with a drive to the Uyuni Salt Flat. The first stop is the eerie "Train Cemetery" on the outskirts of Uyuni.
Next, visit the small settlement of Colchani (salt miner workshops next to the salt flat), where you’ll also find salt crafts and textile art made from llama and alpaca wool. These make excellent souvenirs.
Continue to the Uyuni Salt Flat: Ojos de Agua Salada (Saltwater Eyes), a hotel entirely made of salt now used as a museum, Flags of the World (where you can bring and place your own flag for free), and a Dakar Monument.
Lunch will be served near "Isla Incahuasi" (Fish Island). Afterwards, you’ll have time to hike to the island’s summit to see giant cacti and coral-petrified rock formations.
Take time to arrange your group for fun perspective and proportion-distorted photos on the dazzling white surface of the salt flats, playing with the scene—you’re sure to get some fun and memorable photos!
