Description
Our standard tour plus 1 day of salt flats is with a maximum of 6 people per vehicle and a Spanish-speaking guide. Classic 1-Day Salt Flats Tour for the Budget Backpacker – Extremely popular tour departing daily from Uyuni. A unique place in the world and a must-see on any trip to Bolivia. This is the best option if you are traveling on a budget but don't want to miss out on this amazing experience. Train Cemetery We will begin the tour with a visit to the train cemetery about three kilometers from the city. The city once served as a distribution center for trains carrying minerals on their way to ports on the Pacific Ocean. The train lines were built by British engineers who arrived near the end of the 19th century and formed a sizable community in Uyuni. Flame and Salt Museum Just outside the salt flats of Salar de Uyuni is the picturesque salt processing town of Colchani. This small town of just over 600 people is home to the largest salt processing cooperative in Bolivia. Years ago, the inhabitants of Colchani used to exploit salt to exchange with other indigenous communities. Every year, packs of llamas traveled incredible distances (up to 560 km to Tarija) carrying salt, returning with coca, corn and other products not produced in the Altiplano. Uyuni Salt Flats Continuing the tour, we will enter the iconic Salt Flats. We will stop to see the extraction of salt and salt eyes (water wells where underground water bubbles up). After marveling, we continued our way and arrived at the Sal Playa Blanca hotel, which was the first salt hotel in the region, but due to the negative environmental impact, it currently only functions as a museum. Incahuasi Island After lunch, we will visit the cactus island or Incahuasi Island, the most visited island in the Salar. This mountainous and rocky outcrop of land and ancient island in Bolivia located in the center of the Salar de Uyuni. Incahuasi has a total area of 24.62 hectares (61 acres) and is home to giant cacti (Trichocereus Pasacana) and a tourist center.Includes
