Itinerary
Day 1 : Into the Heart of the Salt Flats.
-
Begin your journey with a stop at the eerie yet iconic Train Cemetery, where the skeletons of vintage locomotives sit frozen in time. Next, visit Colchani, a charming village on the edge of the salt flats where you’ll witness the traditional salt extraction process and discover local artisanal products.
Then, enter the stunning expanse of the Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt flat in the world. Along the way, visit salt sculptures, the bubbling Ojos de Sal, the Dakar Monument, and the colorful Plaza de las Banderas. Explore the first Salt Hotel, now a museum, and climb the surreal “stairway to heaven” for a unique photo opportunity.
Arrive at Isla Incahuasi, an island of ancient coral rock covered in towering cacti, offering panoramic views over the endless white horizon. End your day with a spectacular sunset over the salar, where the sky reflects like a mirror on the salt pure magic.
Overnight in a salt lodge or local accommodation.
Day 2 : High-Altitude Lagoons & Surreal Desert Landscapes.
-
Your second day begins with a journey into the wild beauty of the Altiplano. Visit the Salar de Chiguana and enjoy breathtaking views of the still-active Volcán Ollagüe.
As you continue, you’ll encounter a series of vibrant altiplanic lagoons: Laguna Cañapa, Laguna Hedionda, and Laguna Honda, each home to flocks of flamingos and framed by snowcapped peaks. Cross the Siloli Desert, famous for its otherworldly rock formations, and stop at the Árbol de Piedra, a natural stone tree carved by wind and time.
The day ends at the striking Laguna Colorada, a crimson-colored lagoon inhabited by hundreds of flamingos and surrounded by blazing Andean hues.
Overnight in a desert lodge or eco-hostel.
Day 3 : Geysers, Thermal Pools & the Green Lagoon.
-
Wake up early to visit the Sol de Mañana geysers, where steaming fumaroles and bubbling mud pots create an alien-like atmosphere. Then, take a refreshing dip in natural hot springs while enjoying the crisp morning air.
Cross the ethereal Dali Desert, whose surreal rock formations echo the dreamlike style of Salvador Dalí. End your adventure at Laguna Verde and Laguna Blanca, two glacial lakes at the foot of the majestic Volcán Licancabur where colors shift with the wind and light, offering an unforgettable finale.
Return to Uyuni with stops along the way, passing unusual rock valleys and the colonial church of San Cristóbal, before concluding your extraordinary three-day journey through Bolivia’s most awe-inspiring landscapes.
