Spend the day exploring a surreal place on our Uyuni Salt Flat Day Trip from Potosí for an unforgettable experience in Bolivia.
Uyuni Salt Flat Day Trip
We will depart from the old bus terminal on Avenida Universitaria at the designated time to visit the Uyuni Salt Flat.
Upon arrival at the Uyuni bus station, our first stop will be the Uyuni Train Cemetery, featuring remnants of the first locomotives from the 19th century.
Next, we'll visit Colchani, the gateway to the Uyuni Salt Flat. There, a demonstration of the extraction process will take place, where we will see the unique salt eyes, openings where underground water reaches boiling point due to geothermal energy.
We'll observe the salt drying process before heading to the Playa Blanca Hotel, made entirely of salt blocks.
Weather permitting, we'll proceed to Fish Island, an uninhabited islet on the southern side of the salt flat known for its natural beauty.
After touring the salt flat, we will enjoy a delicious buffet lunch and have free time for photos, along with the opportunity to watch a magical sunset over the Uyuni Salt Flat.
We will then return to the bus station in Uyuni and begin our trip back to Potosí, arriving around midnight.
