From Uyuni / Private service

Day 1

To begin this experience, we depart at 10:30 a.m. from the office or hotel, then visit the Train Cemetery located on the outskirts of the city of Uyuni. Afterward, we head toward the village of Colchani, whose main activity is salt harvesting, where we will visit a salt processing factory. We are now at the gateway to the immense Uyuni Salt Flat; in the first kilometers we will find natural water springs and salt harvesting areas, as well as the world’s first salt hotel, Playa Blanca, which today is an open museum. It is time to travel along the salt highway for about 70 km to visit Incahuasi Island, located in the center of the salt flat, where we will see enormous cacti and Andean vegetation, and we will be able to reach the summit to enjoy a spectacular 360º view. Next, we head toward the southwestern shore of the salt flat, where we will enjoy the sunset, and then enter through Puerto Chuvica into the Nor Lípez province. From there, we continue along a dirt road to the village of Colcha K. Accommodation in a salt hostel.

With sunrise, we head across the Salar de Chiguana, where we will find the railway line and an impressive landscape of extinct volcanoes as we enter the great Andes mountain range. We will visit the viewpoint of the volcán Ollague, then continue toward the lagunas Cañapa y Hedionda, located above 4,200 m.a.s.l., where flamingos live and where we can also appreciate the high Andean flora and fauna such as vicuñas, llamas, and vizcachas, among others. We then continue to visit the Valle de las Rocas, a place full of eroded volcanic formations where your imagination can play with these interesting shapes. On our way back, we stop to visit the mining town of San Cristóbal, and then continue to the city of Uyuni.
