Flight from La Paz to Uyuni & Begin 2D/2N Uyuni Salt Flats Programme with Stargazing
Today, very early in the morning. We will transfer you from your hotel to the airport to board the domestic flight to the impressive Uyuni Salt Flats.
Upon arrival, transfer to the city centre to begin the tour of one of Bolivia’s natural wonders.
We begin with a visit to the Train Cemetery, just 10 minutes from Uyuni, followed by a stop in Colchani, where you’ll find a handicraft market featuring salt crafts and woollen goods made from llama and alpaca. You’ll also see how salt is processed by hand.
We continue to the Salt Mounds, saltwater eyes (natural springs), the Dakar Rally monument, and the World Flags Plaza. Then you will visit the first Salt Hotel, now a museum and restaurant, where lunch will be served. When it’s cold and windy, a picnic lunch is arranged on the salt flats, complete with colourful tablecloths and cushions.
After lunch, you will visit Incahuasi Island, known for its giant cacti. A walk to the top of the island offers spectacular views of the Uyuni Salt Flats. Here you’ll have the chance to take creative perspective photos and videos on the salt flat.
Tonight, weather permitting, enjoy an unforgettable stargazing experience on the salt flats, where the sky reflects beautifully against the salty surface, creating an otherworldly scene.
Please Note: Occasionally in the rainy season the salt flats become overly flooded and we may have to alter the itinerary if the salt flats are not safe to traverse.
