Create an itinerary including Salar de Uyuni
Perched atop a plateau 3,653 m (11,985 ft) above the sea, Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flats, simply boggle the mind. Dry, baked salt covers much of the plateau, while seasonal pools of water and rainbow-colored mineral lakes add to the bizarre scenery. Photographers feel like they've landed in heaven, with amazing photo opportunities at every turn. It's not just for serious photographers, either--the vast expanses of flat, white ground allow you to take perspective-bending photographs. Play Godzilla, crushing your friends under your giant boot, or pretend to be a parrot clutching on to your mate's shoulder. Using our custom trip planner, Uyuni attractions like Salar de Uyuni can form part of a personalized travel itinerary.

    A trip of a lifetime. The hardest and the most tiring trip I've ever done in my lifetime. I'm so glad I did it now, it's all worth it.

    Incredible place. Unique experience. I visited the salar while traveling in peru. Unfortunately I was not feeling very well and I was not able to fully live the experience. It is an hard tour, it lasts 3 days, but it allows you to see breathtaking places. We took part to an organized tour, with jeeps, which made it more adventurous. Highly recommended

    Amazing place. Pictures doesn't always do it justice

    Incredible natural phenomenon. Sunset here will leave you utterly speechless, it almost brought me to tears.
  • By Martin S
    The most beautiful part of nature in bolivia! The around 10'000 square km big salar is just so vast and big, its unbelievable. In winter (may - september) the salar is dry and cool to drive on (of course there's no speed limit). If you have the possibility to see the sunset on the salar, then do it. The colors are crazy and with the moon in the sky you can shoot great photos.

    Beautiful, you've probably never seen something like it!
