From La Paz: 4-Day Trip to San Pedro de Atacama w/Salt Flats

Our guide ‘James’ (Haim) and driver ‘Roger’ were great. James was energetic, kind, patient and informative (with great English). Also great for taking photos!!! It’s a bumpy ride but we were in safe hands with Roger. The stops and scenery were out of this would and I enjoyed each day immensely. The meals provided were also great. There were a few average parts to the trip though. On arrival to Uyuni, expect to wait around a while for the agency to meet you and get started on the tour. The first nights accommodation was ok - luke warm shower, the second nights - no hot water. It was June and freezing cold (glad I hired a sleeping bag). Ensure you pack appropriately. Pack a towel and toilet paper. :) Overall, a worthwhile trip and great way to transfer from Bolivia to Chile.

Great tour with an excellent guide, Marica. The start was a bit confusing with not a lot of information being given once you get off the bus from La Paz. Be warned that you will go off grid for a few days and won't have phone reception or wifi so sort out anything you need before leaving Uyuni. You're expected to give the guide and driver a tip so make sure you factor that into how much cash you take with you. The accommodation was basic but warm and comfortable. The food provided was delicious. It's difficult to sit in a full Land Cruiser for 3 days, particularly if you're tall. Consideration should be given to taking 1 or 2 less passengers so everyone and their bags fit more comfortablely in the vehicle.
