Uyuni Salt Flat Day Trip

Spend the day exploring the Uyuni Salt Flat on our day trip. Depart from Potosí for an unforgettable experience in this unique location.

Uyuni Salt Flat Day Trip

At the designated time, we'll depart from the old bus terminal on Avenida Universitaria for our trip to the Uyuni Salt Flat. After arriving at the Uyuni bus station, we'll visit the Uyuni Train Cemetery, home to Bolivia's first locomotives from the 19th century.

Next, we'll head to Colchani, the gateway to the salt flat, to see a demonstration of the salt extraction process and the unique salt eyes where geothermal energy causes underground water to boil.

The salt extracted is arranged in mounds for drying and transport. We'll observe this process before visiting the Playa Blanca Hotel, made entirely of salt blocks.

Weather permitting, we'll proceed to Fish Island, a deserted islet with pristine nature, before enjoying a delicious buffet lunch. After lunch, there will be free time for photos and to witness a magical sunset over the salt flat.

We will then return to the bus station in Uyuni and begin our return trip to Potosí, with arrival scheduled for midnight.
