Luxury Itinerary – Wonders of Uyuni & the Andes
An exclusive 3-day, 2-night journey.
Private Welcome & Expedition Start
Your journey begins with a warm welcome. Our team will pick you up from your hotel or the Uyuni airport to start an unforgettable experience. Onboard our vehicle, we will explore the vestiges of time at the Train Cemetery, an evocative gallery of abandoned 19th-century steam locomotives.
Culture, Salt, and Photography on the Great Salt Flat
We will delve into the community of Colchani to discover the secrets of artisanal salt extraction and marvel at the "Ojos del Salar" (Salt Flat Eyes). The journey continues into the white immensity, stopping at the iconic Dakar Monument and Flags Beach, perfect stages to unleash your creativity with perspective photography.
Gourmet Lunch in an Infinite Landscape
In the middle of the salt desert, a table will be set for a high-quality picnic-style lunch, allowing you to taste exquisite flavors while immersing yourself in the breathtaking beauty of the surroundings.
Incahuasi Island: An Oasis of Giants
We will visit the extraordinary Incahuasi Island, an outcrop of fossilized coral populated by giant cacti over a thousand years old. A walk along its trails will reward us with 360-degree panoramic views of the salt flat, a truly mystical experience.
Dreamlike Sunset & Exclusive Toast
We will witness a spectacular sunset, where the sky and the earth merge into a palette of vibrant colors. We will celebrate this magical moment with a special toast and a picnic, weather permitting.
Luxury Refuge: A Night in a Salt Palace
At the end of the day, you will be transferred to a superior category hotel, built entirely of salt blocks. Enjoy an exquisite dinner and rest in the comfort of a room with a private bathroom in this unique accommodation.
High Plateau Traverse: Salt Flats and Volcanoes
After a delicious breakfast at your salt hotel, the expedition continues. We will cross the Chiguana Salt Flat and make a strategic stop to admire the imposing silhouette of the active Ollagüe volcano from a privileged viewpoint.
The Spectacle of the Colored Lagoons
The day is painted with color with a visit to the famous high-plateau lagoons: Cañapa, Hedionda, and Onda. We will witness the life of pink flamingos inhabiting these mineral waters, creating a natural contrast of immense beauty. Lunch will be served at a panoramic point to not miss any detail of the landscape.
Siloli Desert and Wind Sculptures
We will enter the arid Siloli Desert, a landscape that defies imagination, to photograph its most famous natural work of art: the "Árbol de Piedra" (Stone Tree), a magnificent rock sculpted by wind erosion.
The Jewel of the Altiplano: Laguna Colorada
The highlight of the day is the arrival at the impressive Laguna Colorada. Its intense reddish color, a product of algae and sediments, and the thousands of birds of three different flamingo species, form an unforgettable picture. You will have time to walk along its shores and capture the magic of the place.
Rest in an Exclusive Refuge
We will arrive at our luxury accommodation in the region, a refuge of superior comfort with a private bathroom. Here we will enjoy a comforting dinner before resting, surrounded by the peace of the high plateau.
Geothermal Dawn and Thermal Bath
The day begins very early, after breakfast, to visit the "Sol de Mañana" geyser field at its peak activity. Then, you will have the opportunity for a relaxing bath in the hot waters of the Polques Hot Springs, a revitalizing experience in the heart of nature.
Surreal Landscapes and Farewell Lunch
We will travel through the Dalí Desert, whose rock formations seem taken from a surrealist master's canvas, and visit the Green and White Lagoons. The tour's final lunch will be served at a strategic point along the route.
Last Jewels of the Road
On our way back to Uyuni, we will stop to admire the gigantic formations of the Valley of Rocks and the historic colonial church of the San Cristóbal community.
