Amazing Salar Uyuni 3 Days / 2 Nights.

Uyuni, Bolivia

MachuPicchu Journey

A three-day excursion through the Uyuni Salt Flats offers opportunities to explore notable sites including the Train Cemetery, Incahuasi Island, and the colossal cactus exceeding ten meters tall.



Day 1:

Upon commencement of the tour, visitors begin their exploration with a visit to the Train Cemetery, where remnants of ancient locomotives offer a glimpse into the history of the region.

Proceeding to the picturesque community of Colchani, guests encounter rustic handicraft workshops and rural micro-processing of table salt. A significant highlight involves a stop at the Hotel de Sal, now serving primarily as a museum but offering insights into the traditional methods used to extract and process salt.

Venturing further into the expansive Salar de Uyuni, travelers make pit stops to witness salt extraction sites, eyes of the Salar, and the charming Sal Playa Blanca hotel. Later, they embark on a scenic trip to the Incahuasi Island, situated centrally within the Salar. Here, visitors enjoy walking trails while admiring vast cacti landscapes, fossilized sea rocks, and breathtaking panoramic vistas from viewpoints.

Concluding the first day, tourists return to their salt lodge for a well-deserved rest.

Day 2:

Starting their second day with a hearty meal at the salt lodge, participants set off towards the Ollague Volcano Viewpoint to marvel at the stark volcanic desert landscape and the sparse Andean vegetation.

Next, they explore the Chiarkota Lagoon, known for its distinctive smelly sulfur lake due to its unique characteristics. Following this, they traverse to the Onda Lagoon and Ramaditas Lagoon, each hosting vibrant populations of flamingos that serve as crucial breeding grounds during migration seasons.

Traveling through the Siloli Desert, the group discovers the intriguing stone tree formation. Their next destination is the Laguna Colorado, renowned for its striking red hues attributed to high mineral content. Proceeding onward, they reach the town of Huayllajara where they sample local cuisine before spending the evening in a family-run lodging.

On Day 3:

Eagerly setting out early in the morning, guests commence their journey to the fumaroles and fissures, exploring areas rich in volcanic activity and sulphurous gases. Upon reaching the thermal springs of Polques, visitors have the opportunity to bathe in therapeutic waters that maintain temperatures ranging between 25° to 32°C.

Traversing the second desert of our tour, the Salvador Dalí Desert, offers stunning panoramic views reminiscent of the Salar de Uyuni's unique landscape. Following this, they arrive at the green lagoon nestled beneath the Licancabur volcano at an elevation of 5,916 meters above sea level.

Their final leg of the journey takes them to the town of Uyuni, where they pay homage to Villa Mar, Valle de las Rocas, and the historic Stone Church. Ultimately, they conclude their tour in the bustling town of Uyuni, marking the successful conclusion of the excursion.

Optional Transfer to San Pedro de Atacama:

After enjoying the sights and sounds of the green lagoon, travelers may opt to undertake the transfer to the Hito Cajones border, followed by the subsequent transfer to San Pedro de Atacama via shared transport. This optional transfer comes with additional costs upon request.

    Spanish is a Romance language spoken primarily in Spain and by significant populations in Latin America, Africa, and some Caribbean islands. It is one of the six official languages of the United Nations and is widely used in international business and diplomacy. The Spanish language has evolved from Vulgar Latin, which was brought to the Iberian Peninsula by Roman soldiers and settlers during the 2nd century AD. Over time, it absorbed elements from various cultures and influences, including Arabic, Germanic, and indigenous American languages. Key features of the Spanish language include: 1. **Vocabulary**: Many words have roots in Latin, such as "hombre" (man), "piedra" (stone), and "casa" (house). 2. **Grammar**: Spanish grammar is characterized by its extensive use of articles ("el", "la", "los", "las") and prepositions ("de", "con", "a"). 3. **Phonetics**: Spanish uses a system of phonemes where vowels can change depending on their position within a word or syllable, leading to pronunciation variations across different regions. Despite these linguistic differences, Spanish remains an important language for communication and cultural exchange around the world.
