Pulacayo & Tomave Trip

Travel back in time with this trip to Pulacayo where we'll visit the historic train museum and the village of Tomave to enjoy the beautiful landscapes of the Altiplano.

Pulacayo Trip

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Uyuni at the indicated time and head to Pulacayo, located just 6 miles (9.6 km) from Uyuni.

This small town still preserves the old iron locomotives that were used to transport silver from the mines. During the tour, we'll hear about the bank robbers Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid and their connections to this area.

As we stroll through this open-air train museum, we'll learn about the importance of Pulacayo's mining wealth, which contributed significantly to the country's economic development in the early 20th century.

After exploring Pulacayo, we'll travel to Tomave, known for its colonial church and rugged landscapes. We'll then continue to the hot springs of Tomave set in the Altiplano environment.

Next, we will stop at the Warmy Kasilla green lagoon and the Orqo Kasilla light blue lagoon. These sites are located at almost 5,000 metres (16,404 ft) above sea level.

After 10 or 11 hours of touring Pulacayo, we'll return to Uyuni and drop you off at your hotel.
