Uyuni Salt Flats Tour expand_more
- Start your tour off at 10:30 am with a drive out to the Uyuni Salt Flats.
- The first stop is the haunting "Train Graveyard’, which is found on the outskirts of Uyuni.
- Get to see the first locomotives in Bolivia and learn about their history, which connected several major cities. Now, corroded over time from the strong salt winds that run through this desert area, this makes for a great photo setting.
- Visit the small settlement of Colchani (salt miners workshops next to the salt flats). Find handicrafts made of salt and textile art manufactured of llama and alpaca wool. These make excellent souvenirs to bring back home.
- Take photos as you cruise along the vast white expanse of salt, wade through “Ojos de Agua Salada” (saltwater eyes), and visit a hotel made completely out of salt, which is currently used as a museum.
- After a morning of exploration, lunch will be served near “Isla Incahuasi” (Fish Island).
- Hike to the top of the island to see giant cacti and rock formations made of petrified coral.
- Take proportion-distorted photos set on the blinding white surface of the salt flats, playing around with the scene; you can be sure to take some funny and memorable shots!
- Head to a spacious area for the unique experience of seeing a beautiful sunset over the salt flats, spreading its dazzling colours all over the salt flats, enjoying it with a glass of wine.
