The Salar de Uyuni is a place where familiar distances and scale seem to stop making sense. This full-day trip pairs its wide-open salt flats with a Train Cemetery, local salt crafts and, when access allows, an island dotted with giant cacti. I like two things in particular: the variety of stops gives the day … Read more
Uyuni’s salt flat is the star, but the sunset is the moment that gives this full-day trip its shape. You’ll cross the Salar de Uyuni by 4×4, stopping at salt-making sites and Incahuasi Island before watching the light fade over the white expanse. I like two things in particular: a small group of no more … Read more
On this private day out from Uyuni, the salt flat is more than a photo stop. You visit the old trains at the Train Cemetery, see salt processing in Colchani, and have time on Salar de Uyuni for playful pictures before walking among the cacti on Incahuasi Island. The day ends with sunset wine, and, … Read more
The day’s big payoff comes at sunset, when the Salar de Uyuni stretches beneath a wide, often remarkably clear sky. You’ll also see how salt is processed in Colchani and walk among Incahuasi Island’s giant cacti, so the tour offers more than a quick photo stop on the flats. I like that this is a … Read more
The salt flats are only the opening act on this private three-day tour. You’ll cross the white expanse of Salar de Uyuni, sleep in a salt hotel, then head south through volcanic country, flamingo lagoons, and the red sands of Siloli Desert. By the final day, you’re close to 5,000 meters above sea level, so … Read more
Huayna Potosí rises to 6,088 meters, and this climb gives you a brief, hands-on introduction to glacier travel before a demanding overnight summit push. The goal is not just to reach the top: you’ll learn to use climbing gear on a glacier, sleep high and start walking around 1 a.m. beneath the Andean night sky. … Read more
The Salar de Uyuni is more than a brilliant white expanse. This three-day trip carries you from rusting British locomotives to cactus-covered Incahuasi, then onward to high desert, flamingo lagoons and steaming geysers. I like that the route shows both the salt flat and the wider Andean region, and that meals and two nights of … Read more
The great draw here is a full day on the Uyuni Salt Flats, reached by overnight bus from La Paz. I like that the day combines the Train Cemetery and salt-making at Colchani with time at Incahuasi Island, and I love the plan for a picnic lunch and sunset toast on the Salar. The trade-off … Read more
Salteñas are more than a snack when you make them from scratch: you learn to prepare the filling and dough, fold each pastry, then sit down to eat what you made. Adelante Mujer’s cooking workshop pairs that hands-on lesson with an effort to support Bolivian women rebuilding their lives after domestic violence. I like two … Read more
Tiwanaku and Lake Titicaca make an ambitious day out from La Paz: first, you explore a major pre-Columbian archaeological site, then head for the high-altitude lake and its small shoreline communities. The private format can take you beyond the usual stops, with rural viewpoints and local places along the way. I like two things here: … Read more
