Overview

Tour to the Uyuni Salt Flats, starting from San Pedro de Atacama — finish in Uyuni (3 Days & 2 Night) or return to Chile (4 Days & 3 Nights)!

Go with UYUNI ADVENTURE on a multi-day expedition through Bolivia’s southwest: volcanoes, lagoons, geysers, and the world-famous Salar de Uyuni.

INCLUDES
• Hostel stay: shared, or upgrade to private room + bathroom
• Meals: all meals included
• Transfers: San Pedro hotel pickup + drop-off in town
• Expert local driver (Spanish) | English guide upgrade available

Our commitment is simple: safety, hygiene, and smooth logistics. You just relax and enjoy the raw beauty of the Altiplano.

Not luxury: high altitude + remote Bolivia. Local realities & rugged infrastructure mean power/heating may run on schedules and connectivity can drop—part of what makes it unique.

The itinerary is a general guide and may vary slightly due to weather, road conditions, or local logistics, with any adjustments made to ensure safety and the best possible experience.
