An unparalleled two-day tour of the Salar de Uyuni.
We’re the only company that guides you through the Salar de Uyuni, taking you across deserts peppered with expansive Quinoa farms and stopping by local communities where the rich Bolivian culture and history comes to life. Our journey includes a visit to an ancient tribe native to the Bolivian Andes. Here, we’ll stay overnight at a salt hotel owned by the Tahua Community, explore pre-colonial ruins, and conclude our adventure with two unique trips to the Uyuni salt flats. These excursions allow us to step into a special, off-limits area, far removed from the light pollution and well away from the main tourist hubs.
