Salt, sunset, and stars make a rare short outing. This four-hour trip pairs the best evening colors on the Uyuni Salt Flat with a dark-sky show after nightfall. I like that you get both major sights in one outing, and I also like the practical touches: hotel or airport pickup, waterproof wellies, and hot coffee. … Read more

I also like that the $524 price includes round-trip buses, a 4WD, meals, lodging, and an English-speaking guide. The main drawback is the … Read more
