What to expect

1
Salar de Uyuni

We will meet in the center of Uyuni to take our vehicle 4 = 4 for 6 people, in which we will do the whole tour during the three days. We will leave for the Salar de Uyuni, passing through the train cemetery and the city of Colchani before, where we can buy handicrafts. After that, once we are in the salt plain, we will visit the Salt Museum, and travel to the Incahuasi Island, a limestone formation in the center of the salt plain. Here we will be able to walk along a track, see the giant cactus and have a privileged view of the salt plain from the top of the hill. We will end the day watching the sunset inside the salar, and then we can go to the salar hostel in San Juan del Rosario, where we will have dinner and rest for the next day.

Duration 60 minutes

Laguna Colorada

We will leave in the morning of San Juan del Rosario and continue along the road that passes through the Salar de Chiguana. We will visit the lagoons of Canapa, Hedionda, Honda and Chiarcota, before entering the Siloli Desert. Here we will see the Stone Tree, a volcanic rock that, as can be deduced from the name, is shaped like a tree.

We will also visit the Termas de Polques (bath time, according to the times of the tour), the Salvador Dalí Desert, and the Laguna Verde and Laguna Blanca, located on the slopes of the Licancabur volcano.
