Description

Day 1: Uyuni At the scheduled time, we'll meet on Calle Colon and begin this exciting 3-day tour. We'll travel in a 4x4 which will take us all around the region of Uyuni and its most charming corners. Firstly, we'll visit the Museum of Trains in Uyunia, where we'll see the old steam-powered machines which transported silver from the mines. Afterwards, we'll make our way to Colchani, the main entry point to the Salar de Uyuni. Here, we'll see stalls where hand-made salt products are sold before we enter the amazing salt desert. You'll have the chance to take photos of this spectacular landscape, which looks like it's from a different planet, and then, we'll enjoy a delicious picnic-style lunch. From here, we'll continue our tour by visiting Incahuasi Island, located in the middle of the salt flat. Here, we'll enjoy an unbeatable view of the vast white salt landscape. At the end of the day, we will head to Candelaria or San Juan, where we'll spend the night. Day 2: Uyuni Lagoons - Huayllajara We'll get up early and have a continental breakfast, before continuing to explore Uyuni. We'll set off and head towards the Eduardo Abaroa National Reserve, where we'll find some amazing lagoons and desert which will leave you enamoured. Afterwards, we'll head to the town of San Juan, where we'll enjoy some of the best views of the Ollagüe Volcano. We'll make a stop here to have lunch and then travel towards the Cañapa, Charchota, Honda and Hedionda lagoons, home to elegant pink flamingos. We'll continue the day by crossing the Siloli Desert, where we'll find naturally occurring works of art, formed by wind erosion. To bring this day to an end, we'll visit the Colorada lagoon to see the beautiful reddish-coloured waters. Do you know why the water is this colour? We'll find out during the tour. Finally, we'll return to the hotel to rest and relax. Day 3: Huayllajara - San Pedro de Atacama On the last day of the tour, we'll get up early and have breakfast before visiting the geysers in this area. After, we'll discover the famous rock formations in the Salvador Dalí Desert. Can you guess why the desert was called this? Yes, it has to do with the famous Spanish painter! You'll be told all about this! Next, we'll make our way through the desert until we arrive at the Verde Lagoon and the Blanca Lagoon, located in the foothills of the Licancabur Volcano. You'll be amazed by the lagoon's landscape with the crater behind it! Then, we'll return to our 4x4 to cross over the border to Chile on the way to San Pedro de Atacama, where the tour will come to an end. You'll be dropped off at the central station in San Pedro de Atacama at around 1 pm.
