Salt, sky, and a very long day.

White salt, giant cacti, and a glass of wine. This full-day Uyuni outing pairs the vast Salar de Uyuni with Incahuasi Island, then saves sunset for a toast in the middle of the flats.

White salt, red water, flamingos, repeat. This three-day route gives you far more than a quick photo stop at the Salar de Uyuni: I love the sharp change from white salt to desert, lagoons, and geysers, and I like the time set aside for playful perspective photos and a salt-flat sunset. Your trade-off is basic … Read more
