From San Pedro de Atacama |4-day tour to the Uyuni Salt flat

Day 1: We will pick you up at your hotel and depart in a minibus from San Pedro de Atacama to the border with Bolivia, passing through the border offices of Chile and Bolivia. Once at the border, we will change vehicles to a 4x4 for 6 people. On this first day we will visit places of the Bolivian altiplano, such as Laguna Blanca and Laguna Verde, located at the foot of the Licancabur volcano. We will continue visiting the Salvador Dalí desert, the Polques hot springs, with some time for bathing, and the Sol de Mañana geysers, intermittent springs of water that gush at a temperature of 90 °C. We will end the day at Laguna Colorada, nesting center of more than 30,000 flamingos. Tonight we will stay at the Villamar lodge.

Day 2: After breakfast, we will take the route to Tomás Lakha, where you can see some pre-Inca cave paintings. Afterwards, we will visit Italia Perdida, a place where the volcanic rock took the shape of what seems to be an abandoned city. Then, we will go to the Vinto Lagoon and the Catal Lagoon, where you will be able to walk and see the typical fauna of the Bolivian Altiplano. Afterwards, we will visit the Anaconda canyon and also the Sora canyon, before continuing to the Chiguana salt flat and arriving at Colcha K where you will spend the second night.

Day 3: Very early in the morning, we will start our last day of the tour with a sunrise view of the Salar de Uyuni. After this experience, we will move to Incahuasi Island, a limestone rock formation located in the center of the salt flat that we will be able to walk around and get another perspective of the salt flat. We will continue to the Salt Museum and the town of Colchani, already outside the salt flat. From here we will move to Uyuni, passing by the train cemetery, where we will make a short stop to take pictures. In Uyuni, we will say goodbye to our driver-guide, who accompanied us during the previous three days, and then we will have some free time to have lunch and walk around part of the city. Afterwards, we will meet the driver who will take us back, stopping in Villamar for dinner and rest.

Day 4: We will wake up very early to continue our return trip and reach the border of Chile and Bolivia. Once here, and after the corresponding formalities, we will change vehicles to a minibus to return to San Pedro de Atacama.
