Incredible experience in the Salar de Uyuni

5.00Visiting the Salar de Uyuni was one of the most breathtaking moments of my life. The landscape is simply magical: an endless white sea that transforms into a perfect mirror when it rains. The guides were incredibly friendly and knew every detail of the place. Watching the sunset reflected on the salt flats is something you'll never forget. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a unique experience in Bolivia!

5.00The tour was lead by Marcial, a local guide who is very informative and knowledgeable about rainbow mountain. This includes hotel pick-up, blankets, breakfast, lunch, hiking sticks, english guide and first aid kit with oxygen as needed. Admission fee is 25 Sol/ $ 7 USD paid separately. They were able to accommodate my last minute reservation the night before the tour and has late pick-up of 5am compared to other tours that requires 4am or earlier. Food is good and traditional. The bus needs improvement with sanitation because it stinks a little.
