About This Tour

A private 3-day, 2-night tour crossing from Chile into Bolivia to reach the Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat, with real stops at Laguna Colorada and Laguna Hedionda's flamingo colonies along the way. This tour crosses from Chile into Bolivia, so a valid passport is required for every traveler.

Accommodation and meals for the two nights are included.

The Salar de Uyuni covers more than 10,000 square kilometres at about 3,656 metres and is the world's largest salt flat. It is estimated to hold around a quarter of the world's lithium resource, in the brine under the crust.

Laguna Colorada, in the Eduardo Avaroa reserve, is a shallow lake of about 54 square kilometres whose reddish colour comes from sediments and algae. It is the largest known nesting site of the rare James's flamingo, and Chilean and Andean flamingos also gather there.

The wet season, roughly December to April, can flood the salar into a mirror but may affect road conditions; the dry season gives easier driving. Bring your passport for the border crossing.
