Uyuni Salt Flat 1 Day Tour

Our first stop on this incredible journey is to the mystic Train Graveyard. This was the first place in Bolivia where the whistle of a train was heard. The first railway line in the country was laid there in 1890. The Train Graveyard consists of a score of steam locomotives and wagons. It remains one of the most important attractions of its kind worldwide.

Then we will have an unforgettable trip through 12,000 km² of fantastic salt landscapes. The world’s largest Salt Flat on the planet!  Prepare your camera! The dazzling white mantle of the Salar de Uyuni (or Thunupa) resembles an immense glacier and must be seen to be believed!!

We will enter the Salt Flats by Colchani, where we will know the salt processing areas. Once on the vast surface of the white desert, we will visit the eyes of water and the salt hotel (a hotel made of Salt) and we will head towards the unknown Salar Sensual. We will direct our 4X4 towards Ch’jini, a spectacular yet very little visited by tourist in spite of its unrivalled beauty.

We will ascend to the cathedral hill, a mound of about 40 m high where the pukara or ruins of stacked stones are found: This part offers one of the most exceptional viewpoints in the world. Next we will visit the Ch’jini cave, a result from an underwater geological formations with calcareous bodies, product of the dissolution of calcium.

We will continue to a special point of the Salt flats for an unforgettable lunch on the white surface.

In the afternoon we will ascend the Volcano in the car to visit the Mummies of Coquesa, with excellent views of the vast and never ending Salt Flats in the distance.

In the afternoon we will go to Incahuasi Island visit the tourist center that has a path to its peak that turns into an extraordinary 360 degree viewpoint. The island is also full of Giant Cactus which are an attraction in themselves.

Next we will make our return stretch towards the salt mounds, where we will stop to take the farewell photos, with the soft light of the sunset.
