Uyuni

Geologic Formations · Specialty Museums · Islands
Emptiness surrounds the desert outpost of Uyuni, the gateway to the world's largest salt flats. Life can be challenging in the arid town of around 10,000 people, formed as a trading post in 1890 and located 3,700 m (12,139 ft) above sea level. The difficulty of getting fresh water to the area has made agriculture almost impossible, but a boom in Uyuni tourism has kept the town going--and growing. Use our Bolivia trip planner to arrange the hows, wheres, and whens of your trip to Uyuni.

    Where to stay in Uyuni

    Salar de Uyuni ©
    Accommodations seem to occupy nearly every other building in Uyuni. Where you stay is of little importance, as the town can be traversed on foot in a matter of minutes. You won't find large luxury hotels here, but you can choose between a range of comfortable inns and guesthouses. Reserve your room in advance, as competition for good rooms can be stiff during high season.
