Fly to Uyuni and visit Salt Flats (L/D)
At designed time, pick-up from the hotel and transfer to the airport to take the flight to Uyuni. Today we depart for our first foray on to the Uyuni Salt Flats. We'll be picked up from the airport and the journey begins with a short visit to the famed (and rusting) train cemetery, full of rusting train cars that were once used to transport minerals and people to and from Uyuni. We then continue to the salt-harvesting village of Colchani to see how the locals produce salt. After this (finally!) we will reach the great Uyuni Salt Flats, visiting the bizarre Incahuasi Island that is covered in enormous cacti and from where we get an amazing view of the flats. We will enjoy a beautiful sunset in the middle of the endless expanse of glittering salt and then return to Colchani to overnight in a hotel built from salt bricks!

Location: Uyuni
Accommodation: Hostel
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna Reserve (B/L/D)

Enjoy lunch next to one of the region’s multi-colored lagoons. Then, we will continue to Siloli Desert, where we will witness the wonder of great rock formations thanks to the wind erosion over the years.

Dali Desert and visit the Green Lagoon with Licancabur Volcano as a backdrop.
