Uyuni: Private 1-Day Tour - Salt Flats and Incahuasi Island

Explore the magnificent Salar de Uyuni on a full-day private tour with an English-speaking guide. Enjoy a personalized experience with lunch and a stunning sunset.
Start your private tour at 10:30am with a drive to the Salar de Uyuni.
The first stop is the eerie “Train Cemetery” located just outside of Uyuni. You will be able to see Bolivia’s first locomotives and learn about their history, which connected several important cities. Now corroded over time by the strong salt winds that blow through this desert area, they make for a great photo backdrop.

Then visit the small settlement of Colchani (salt miners’ workshops next to the salt flat), there you will also find crafts made from salt, and textile art made from llama and alpaca wool. These are great souvenirs to take home. Take photos as you cruise through the vast white expanse of salt, wade through the “Ojos de Agua Salada” (Saltwater Eyes), visit also: a hotel made entirely of salt that is currently used as a museum-restaurant, the Flags of the World (where you can bring your own and put it there for free) and a Monument to the Dakar races.

After a morning of exploring, lunch will be served near “Isla Incahuasi” (Fish Island), then you will have time to hike to the top of the island to see giant cacti, and rock formations made of petrified coral.

Next, take time to organize your group to take fun photos distorted in perspective and proportion, on the blinding white surface of the salt flats, playing with the scene, you are sure to get fun and memorable photos!

Finally, head to a spacious area to live the unique experience of watching a beautiful sunset over the salt flats, spreading its dazzling colors throughout the salt flat, enjoying it with a glass of wine.

Finally, return to the city of Uyuni at 07:15 p.m.
