3-day Uyuni Salt Flats & surrealistic deserts with hotels

Explore the cemetery of the first Bolivian trains, which belonged to the Bolivian Railway Company. This historical site has many interesting stories and can also serve as a large playground for adults.

Learn about the production of salt in Bolivia. There's a chance to explore shopping handicrafts and original woolen clothes for good prices. This is the official entrance to the Salt Flats.

We will spend most of our time here. In addition to capturing mirror reflection and perspective photos, we will visit the first hotel made entirely of salt, Flag Island, where we will take photos with the flag of your country, the Dakar monument, the stairway to Heaven monument, and the Giant Cacti Island before witnessing a stunning sunset in the largest salt desert on earth. After all of these activities, we will head to our accommodation, the Tayka de Sal Hotel.

We are now entering the deserts of the southwestern region of Bolivia.

We visit the first Andean lagoon, Cañapa lagoon, a habitat of endemic Andean fauna.

Afterward, we visit Hedionda Lagoon, known for its high concentration of sulfur, earning it the nickname "Smelly Lagoon." This lagoon is home to pink flamingos. Afterward, we visit a lodge for lunch.

At an altitude of approximately 5000 meters above sea level, this is one of the driest and highest deserts in the world. Here we will encounter the famous stone tree, a particular rock formation due to the erosion of wind. We enter to Eduardo Abaroa National Reserve, Bolivia's most isolated protected area.

Initially, we visit the Red Lagoon, a body of water of 60 km2. We make a trek around this beautiful lagoon, home of pink flamingos. Then we head to our accommodation at Tayka del Desierto.

We wake up early to see the geysers at their best. This place is situated at 4800 meters above sea level. It could be quite cold, but we will start to observe the first rays of the morning sun.

Get ready for your swimsuit, hot springs await us! This location has abundant volcanic activity, allowing us to rejuvenate and witness the dawn while we enjoy the thermal waters and the surrealistic landscape.

After enjoying the hot springs and thermal waters, we will visit the Salvador Dalí desert, considered the 'most surrealistic landscape' in the world due to its resemblance to "La persistencia de la memoria," a piece of art made by the Spanish artist Salvador Dalí in 1931.

We will visit the Green Lagoon located in the most south-western point of Bolivia. This spot provides a fantastic view of the Licancabur volcano, which has served as a natural border between Bolivia and Chile since 1904, after the Pacific Ocean war between the two mentioned countries. After this, we'll head back to Uyuni. Along the way, we will make various stops for restroom breaks, to buy snacks, and for lunch.
