Museo de la Llama y la Sal
The Colchani Population is a small community located on the shores of the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, where the locals are dedicated to the exploitation of salt and the creation of handicrafts. In this town, you will be able to see how the inhabitants take part of the salt extracted from the salar and use it to create beautiful and original handicrafts. The creativity and skill of the Colchani artisans is truly impressive. Among the handicrafts that can be found are picture frames, jewelry boxes, typical animals of the region and other accessories made with salt and decorated with elements of the Andean culture. In addition to salt handicrafts, in the Colchani Population you can also find beautiful textiles, traditional fabrics and functional or decorative ceramics. Everything sold in this place is handmade and unique. The visit to the Colchani Population is an opportunity to get to know and appreciate the culture, traditions and way of life of the inhabitants of the region.

The salt flat is a paradise on earth. You have to know him if or if in life. Ideal for adventure-loving travelers!

4.00The place as such is amazing, I recommend arriving in Uyuni and hiring directly there the guided tour with local driver who knows the area well, a day is more than enough to do: water eyes, salt, mirror experience, see sunset. Ask for Alex Clash! The best guide. Hiring there directly avoids surcharges by third companies like Viator, and two more locals!

1.00I didn’t take the tour service because when I got to the address indicated (Av Ferroviaria, Uyuni, Bolivia, Uyuni, BO, 0510), I didn’t find the agency. Asking the agencies around they didn't recognize the Intiraymi agency expeditions either. Also, given the urgency because the tour was about to start, I contacted them at the number you provide in the reservation information, but I did not get a response. Since it was already 10:30 am (start time of the Uyuni salt tours) and I had no response from the agency side after calling them multiple times, I had to look for another agency, being forced to make another additional expense, since I have my ticket purchased Uyuni - La Paz for today and it was not a possibility to stay another day here. Being 10:35 my name is the agency, however, I had already purchased another tour service and was already on my way. From the details, please request the refund, as I did not take the service for lack of commitment by the agency, which never contacted me until after 10:35 when I had already purchased another service.
Not every booking is a success.

5.00Several companies also offer this. They all cover the Rail Graveyard, the Museum, Salt flats and sculptures, together with the meal on the salt flats and the extensive photo session. It is cheaper to book it at Uyuni. The company I first booked with failed to turn up and I had to book it again. It is a brilliant tour, after the lake Titicaca Tour, the best I booked in Bolivia. PS Overnight buses to Uyuni can be freezing.
Too expensive

1.00You could get tour guides at Uyuni much cheaper. Schedule when you arrive there, not here. Also at Uyuni you will have a lot of choices
Maravilloso

5.00The visit was wonderful, our driver and guide the friend Bernardo was very knowledgeable not only about the salt flat but also Bolivian stories and legends, made the whole trip by car very enjoyable. The food is very rich and balanced, and we end the day with a good Tarija wine. Friend Bernardo was very patient and friendly for the photos and tour in the salt flat. He left us at the Hotel at the end of Tour as taking pictures of the sunset ran late, and yet he waited for us.
Unforgettable experience

5.00Excellent experience. Very punctual and helpful. We had lunch locally on Incahuasi Island after visiting the train cemetery and a local salt factory where we learned about the history and customs of the locals. In the afternoon we visited several points in the salt flat, ideal for portraying unforgettable memories. At the end we toast with the other passengers and the Local Guide contemplating a beautiful sunset in the mirrored salt flat. A unique experience.
Tour more than perfect!!

5.00Lovely tour. The driver did not speak English but showed us many exciting spots on the way and made very creative photos of us. He also offered a bottle of wine and snacks at sunset. He brought us to a spot with the best mirror effect.
