Stay in town, explore with a guide

Uyuni is a transport and overnight base. The salt flat is a separate outing with a suitable vehicle and an operator who understands the conditions.

Different seasons, different journeys

Water, access and weather change the experience. A mirror reflection cannot be promised, and a photograph is not evidence that a route is currently passable.

Give the day room to unfold

Choose one main outing for each day and leave time for meals and the journey back. Confirm access, transport and any guided arrangements before setting out.
