Train Cemetery
We begin our tour by exploring the fascinating Train Cemetery, located on the outskirts of the city.

Here, you'll be able to admire a variety of abandoned and disused trains up close, dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A unique experience for lovers of history and photography! The Train Cemetery is a must for any tourist looking to learn about the culture and history of the Uyuni region. Don't miss the opportunity to explore this amazing place with us!
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.

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

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.

1.00Terrible travel agency. We booked the tour with them, and they outsourced to a local agency (which charged four times less) to conduct our tour. Every attraction you visit, they charge an additional fee to enter. They don't take a single photograph for you. The lunch was of terrible quality (my wife got sick afterward). They promised wine with snacks at the end, but only provided the wine. The driver (because he can't be called a guide) would sleep in the car. Horrible experience, I complained, and they didn’t want to refund any money. DON'T waste your money with this company.
