Your driver will pick you up from your accommodation in Uyuni between 9:00 and 10:00 AM. Shortly after the tour begins, you’ll visit the Train Cemetery, where old locomotives lie abandoned, forming a striking scene set against the vast desert. This unique site also reflects the period when Uyuni once enjoyed significant economic prosperity.

Colchani, known as the gateway to the Uyuni Salt Flats, is a small town along the route that you’ll visit during the tour. Here, you’ll find the Salt Museum and the refinery, where you can learn about how salt is processed. Before continuing your journey, take some time to explore the local artisan shops, where handmade products crafted from alpaca wool and salt are available.

12:00 PM - Now it’s time to head into the Salt Flats! You’ll visit the salt piles, the “Ojos del Salar,” and the Playa Blanca Museum, a unique structure built entirely from salt blocks. Once you arrive, be sure to have your camera ready—the photos will be incredible. Your driver can also help capture the perfect shots, making sure you look your best in every picture.

1:00 PM - In the middle of the vast salt expanse lies a small hill—almost like an island—home to a unique ecosystem of towering cacti known as “cardones.” Thanks to its elevation, the island offers stunning panoramic views of the Salt Flat, making it an ideal place to pause, reflect, or take more memorable photos. You’ll also have time to explore the island at your own pace, walking along its trails and, if the weather allows, enjoying lunch at the base of the hill.

As the day progresses and you check off each stop on your itinerary, the thought of a comfortable bed at your accommodation will surely be welcome. Before sitting down for dinner and turning in for the night, take a moment to enjoy the unforgettable sunset over the Salt Flats—a truly magical way to end the day.
