Salar de Uyuni to Atacama Desert Tour - 3 Days

After your breakfast, will pick you up from your hotel in La Paz and take you to the airport for your flight to Uyuni (not Included). We will be waiting to pick you up from the airport in Uyuni and then will depart for the salt flats tour. Our first stop will be the Train Cemetery, where rusty old trains sit in the desert, a strange and incongruous sight indeed. We will also visit the village of Colchani, where you can see the salt-extracting process and local handicrafts made of, you guessed it, salt. Then, we will start the amazing excursion to the Salt Lake and Isla Incawasi with its giant cactuses. Uyuni Salt Lake is the largest Salt Flat on Earth, located on the Bolivian High-Plateau with over 10.000 Km2. On route, we will visit the Salt Museum and stop at the Cold Water Springs “Ojos de Agua”. Arrive to Incawasi Island, an oasis with formations of algae and fossils. This island is covered by thousands of giant columnar cacti, some of them over a hundred years old, growing to a height of over 12 meters. The Bolivian Andes offers other-worldly scenery which is unparalleled in the world. The sound of silence will make your heart beat faster and the surreal pentagons of crystalline salt, the pure sky, and the giant cacti, certainly make you feel that there is no other place like this in the whole world. The landscape against the background of the salt flats extending to the horizon makes it an ideal place for photography buffs! This almost surreal yet stunning tour ends with a transfer back to your hotel.
