Important Information
•
Suitable for all physical fitness levels
•
This itinerary is subject to change without prior notice according to weather conditions, strikes, roadblocks, or other forces beyond our control
•
During the rainy season, the salt flat fills with water so it is not possible to cross the salt flat in the same way as during dry season causing the itinerary to be modified during that period. The salt hostel is unavailable. Instead, you willl be staying in a hotel in Culpina or other location
•
This trip takes place at a very high altitude. For example, the salt flats is around 16,000 feet (5,000 meters) above sea level. Most guests feel some effects of altitude (headache, lethargy, trouble sleeping) and we recommend acclimating yourself by staying above 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) for a few days before embarking on this trip. Bring medication for headaches and tablets for altitude sickness in case you feel unwell. Always drink LOTS of water to assist in acclimatization.
•
The reality of visiting a remote area and immersing yourself in nature is that you will be far from modern facilities and the services may sometimes be slow and basic. Due to the harsh terrain, vehicle breakdowns are not uncommon, however, the drivers are skilled at fixing mechanical problems and delays are rarely excessive
•
1 Night accommodation in Salt Hotel, basic dorm-style rooms w/ shared bathroom (hot shower included in the first night) 1 Night shared family lodging (dorm of 6 beds with shared bathroom without light) If you’d prefer a private room for both nights, there is an additional cost of 250 BS (approx 36 USD) per person. This is subject to availability so please inquire in advance.
•
Electricity and running water in the National Park are not as dependable as they are at home

At 10:30 AM, we will start the tour by visiting the Cementerio de trenes which is a unique and interesting train graveyard located in the middle of the Uyuni Salt Flat. Then, we will continue to El proceso de sal en Colchani to see how salt is extracted and processed. After that, we will visit the Artesanías de sal to see the various ways in which salt is used to create beautiful and unique crafts. We will also visit the Montones de sal to see the vast expanse of salt flats, and the Ojos de sal which are small pools of water that are surrounded by salt flats. Lastly, we will visit Isla Incahuasi, which is a small island located in the middle of the salt flats and is home to cacti and other unique plants. Then, we will check-in to the Hotel de Sal, which is built entirely out of salt bricks and provides guests with an opportunity to experience what it's like to sleep on a bed of salt.
8:00 PM we check-in at the Hotel de Sal and we will enjoy dinner together.
