Colchani
In the town of Colchani we will be able to appreciate how the locals take part of the extracted salt and, being carried away by the imagination, they use it in the elaboration of handicrafts. Creating different things such as picture frames, jewelry boxes, local animals and other accessories where they capture the Andean landscapes. You can also find beautiful textiles, traditional fabrics and functional or decorative ceramics.
Salar de Uyuni
The wonderful Salar de Uyuni known as the largest salt desert in the world, is like a mirror that reflects the sky. Surrounded by mountains and volcanoes that reach 5000 meters above sea level. Where on our way we can observe fantastic optical illusions that are accentuated in the rainy season and also the “Ojos de Agua”, small eruptions of salt that will help us to know the process of formation of this infinite sea of salt. We will also visit the “Hotel de Sal”, the first of its kind, which currently functions as a museum.

We arrive at Incahuasi Island in the center of the salt flat, where we can observe large populations of cacti, sea rock fossils, local fauna and spectacular views of the salt flat from the top of the island.

Starting with a visit to the Ollagüe Volcano, located on the border of Bolivia and Chile, in the Andes Mountains with a height of 5868 meters above sea level. To the south are the lagoons of Cañapa, Hedionda, where there are a large number of flamingos and other species of birds, such as geese and Andean seagulls. These lagoons surrounded by snow-capped volcanoes, accompanied by a green skirt, are a wonderful landscape where you can take very beautiful photos.
Siloli Desert
It is characterized by its rock formations as a result of the strong winds that the region presents, such as the stone tree. The desert is considered one of the driest in the world due to the low rainfall that occurs in the area.
Laguna Colorada
The red lagoon is characterized as the main center of nesting of three different species of flamingos. Where also algae and plankton, activated by solar radiation and the wind, give them their characteristic color. Then we will conclude our day by going to the LATITUDES Shelter

Geiser Sol de la Manana
Inside the Eduardo Abaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve, we will go in search of the well-known Sol de Mañana Geysers. This is the highest point on the route, at about 5000 m. The cold is intense. You will see pools where the earth seems to boil in a mixture of red, gray and scarlet mud. We will cross its banks very carefully where you can take photos of that unique landscape if you want
The desert and Salar de Chalviri is another scene of great landscape value that combines white snow, Ocher desert, blue water and white borax. In one corner, we can take a bath in the Termas de Polques and enjoy a wonderful lunch.
Laguna Verde
Finally, leaving this desert valley, we will visit another charming place such as the Green Lagoon, at the foot of the Licancabur Volcano. The white color of the salt flat, the brown of the volcano, which depending on the time of year may be snowy and the emerald green salty water, is a whole set, which make the place a true postcard. Finally we will finish with our tours, some if they wish, can do it in Pedro de Atacama Chile or return to Uyuni at approximately 6:00 p.m.

A dramatic beautiful three Oh day adventure.

5.00Our guide Edwin was very good. He went out of his way to take us to some unusual places and help us get great photos, both of scenery and wildlife. It would’ve been helpful If he had provided a little more information in between stops on what the next leg and how long of the trip it would be. The food that he provided was all delicious. This is a really beautiful area with dramatic scenery, and we were fortunate to see quite a lot of wildlife. The hotels did not have any heat, and the second night by the geysers was very cold, so be forewarned.
The places are beautiful and programmes are well conducted.

Many "Opportunities for Improvement"

3.00Intiraymi subcontracted a local company, which in turn subcontracted a driver, named Luis, to take the tour for us as well as 4 other people. At each stop we felt a certain envy of the other groups who had a properly trained guide giving good explanations of the places visited or taking photos. Luis is an excellent driver, but he has little training in dealing with tourists, despite telling us that he had been doing this for many years. We were lucky to have a very nice group that we traveled with. The lady at the agency was not clear in telling us that our luggage had to stay at the agency (we had two large suitcases because we had been traveling for more than a week), so we had to buy a briefcase for the 3 days of the tour, in addition to sandals, which we were not told we would need either. We also didn't like to see that they offered any walk-in our same 3-day tour for 170 USD, when they charged us 250 USD.
Best Salar de Uyuni tour in Bolivia

5.00We were two people and had booked a private Salar de Uyuni Tour for two nights, three days. We had a driver (Marcos) and a guide (Oswaldo) who were awesome. Perfect organization, good english, many information, great photos, awesome trip! They drove very safely and shared a lot more information about Bolivia than just about the Salar/ sites we visited. We would definitely do it again with this company and are taking home uncountable unbelievable impressions of this wonderful piece of the world. It felt very comfortable to travel and talk to them. Thank you Oswaldo and Marcos!

5.00There is nothing about this tour that we could complain about, eveything was top notch and very well organised. The driver was very safe and patient, he had an excellent playlist to keep us entertained on the long drive. We also had many stops to let us stretch our legs and not feel worn out by the long trip.

5.00This was the trip of a lifetime. The guide was incredible with a good knowledge and awareness of the place, route and each stops we had. Food was freshly prepared each time and we were extremely well fed on all days of the tour. They never rushed us and had enough time on each stops. We highly recommend this tour company.
