The Uyuni Salt Flats tour departing from San Pedro de Atacama starts with a 7:00 AM pick-up from your accommodations. When the whole group has been collected, the shuttle bus will begin its journey to the Bolivian border. Once there, you’ll meet your driver, stamp passports, eat breakfast, and load all your luggage onto the rugged 4x4. Then, the adventure begins!

White Lagoon and Green Lagoon: Upon entering Bolivia, you’ll cross directly into the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve, where most of the day’s stops will be. The first is White Lagoon, located at the foot of the Licancabur Volcano, one of the most beautiful sights on this three-day tour. The tour continues with stops at the Green Lagoon, then crosses the Salvador Dali Desert (an overwhelming expansive plateau surrounded by imposing mountains, reminiscent of the famous painter’s works).

Polque Hot Springs - Geysers: The trail continues to the Polque Hot Springs, where you’ll soak in a pool of natural thermal water with the crisp cold air around you. You’ll thoroughly enjoy this relaxing experience! Before we move on, you’ll eat lunch with the whole group a few meters from the hot springs where the panoramic views of the surrounding landscape are on display. After lunch, we’ll continue to the Sol de La Mañana Geyser Field, an area covered in fumaroles and small geysers.

Red Lagoon: The final stop of the first day is the Red Lagoon, the best-known and one of the most photographed sights in the Salt Flat. You’ll walk along a path parallel to the shore of the lagoon and see it up close to observe the immense colony of flamingos inhabiting it. When you’ve got your fill, the group will head to Villa Mar, where dinner will be served with your group, and you’ll spend the night in a shared or private room, according to your specific reservation request.
