I would add, or maybe even replace all of that with taking a Salar de Uyuni Tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even today, I still find it hard to believe what I saw, but I remember every landscape, every stop, and that feeling of traveling through one of the most incredible places in the world. I know words can only go so far, but I\u2019ll try to tell you what my tour to the Uyuni Salt Flats from Chile was really like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before starting the route, we decided to spend 3 days in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-chile\/san-pedro-de-atacama\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-chile\/san-pedro-de-atacama\">San Pedro de Atacama<\/a> to make the most of the trip. It was the perfect decision because we had time to visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-chile\/san-pedro-de-atacama\/moon-valley\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-chile\/san-pedro-de-atacama\/moon-valley\">Moon Valley<\/a>, relax at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-chile\/san-pedro-de-atacama\/termas-puritama\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-chile\/san-pedro-de-atacama\/termas-puritama\">Puritama Hot Springs<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-chile\/san-pedro-de-atacama\/astronomical-tour\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-chile\/san-pedro-de-atacama\/astronomical-tour\">stargaze on an astronomy tour<\/a>. If you have a few days before visiting the salt flats, I definitely recommend adding some of these activities in San Pedro de Atacama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I did the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-chile\/san-pedro-de-atacama\/uyuni-salt-flats-3d\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-chile\/san-pedro-de-atacama\/uyuni-salt-flats-3d\">3-day Salar de Uyuni Tour<\/a> from San Pedro de Atacama, a route that starts in Chile and ends in Uyuni, Bolivia. That said, there are other ways to visit this magical place: you can return to San Pedro de Atacama, start from Uyuni, or choose a different tour length. If you\u2019re still not sure which option is best for you, I recommend checking our complete guide with all the tours to the Uyuni Salt Flats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Summary of the Salar de Uyuni Tour I Took<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Salar de Uyuni Tour I took was the 3-day route from San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, ending in Uyuni, Bolivia. It\u2019s a perfect option if you\u2019re traveling through northern Chile and want to cross into the Bolivian Altiplano without organizing separate transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over 3 days, we traveled by 4&#215;4 through some of the most impressive landscapes on the route: Altiplano lagoons, the Salvador Dal\u00ed Desert, the Polques Hot Springs, the Sol de la Ma\u00f1ana geysers, Laguna Colorada, rock formations, a salt accommodation, and, of course, the Uyuni Salt Flats at sunrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s an intense tour, with long hours in the vehicle, altitude changes, and cold temperatures, but it\u2019s also one of the most complete experiences for discovering southern Bolivia. In this case, the tour included pick-up in San Pedro de Atacama, 4&#215;4 transportation, meals, and accommodation along the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Salar de Uyuni Tour <strong>Day 1: From San Pedro de Atacama to Bolivia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a few intense days in San Pedro de Atacama, it was finally time to start our Salar de Uyuni Tour. Since the minibus was picking us up at 4:00 AM, we decided to go to bed early the night before. The best plan was to get as much rest as possible. And honestly, thank goodness we did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They picked us up right on time, and the 12 people in the group traveled together to the border between Chile and Bolivia. Once there, we split into three 4&#215;4 vehicles to continue the route.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/frontera-bolivia.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A view of the Bolivia-Chile border road\" style=\"width:508px;height:auto\" title=\"On the way to the border\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Border Crossing and Breakfast<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before crossing into Bolivia, we had to fill out some documents indicating how long we would be staying in the country. After the paperwork, breakfast was waiting for us with pancakes, coffee with milk, fruit, and sandwiches. After such an early start, it tasted amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once we had recharged, the vehicles arrived so we could continue the tour to the Uyuni Salt Flats. We shared the car with a French couple and a Brazilian mother and daughter. It was a lovely group from the very beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we reached the border, our passports were stamped and we were officially in Bolivia. In the middle of nowhere, surrounded by volcanoes and endless landscapes, the adventure truly began.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/termas-de-polques.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Traveler viewing the geysers field sol de la ma\u00f1ana in the Uyuni Salt Flats Bolivia tour\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.49884771099346;width:463px;height:auto\" title=\"Polques Hot Springs\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lagoons, Volcanoes, and Altiplano Landscapes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the car, we couldn\u2019t stop looking out the window. The landscape looked like something out of a movie: desert, volcanoes, colorful lagoons, huge rock formations, and a constant feeling of immensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first stops were Laguna Blanca, Laguna Verde, and Laguna Colorada. Each one had a different color and a completely different landscape around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also visited one of the highest points of the tour: the geyser field, located at more than 13,000 feet above sea level. It was impressive, but it\u2019s important to take it slowly. I got excited, walked too fast, and ended up feeling a little dizzy because of the altitude and the gases coming from the ground. Conclusion: don\u2019t rush, the geyser isn\u2019t going anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Colorada Lagoon\" width=\"625\" height=\"417\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/colorada-lagoon-salar-uyuni.jpg?resize=625%2C417&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A couple admires llamas at Colorada Lagoon on the Salar de Uyuni Tour\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Polques Hot Springs and Laguna Colorada<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before lunch, we made one of the most special stops of the day: the Polques Hot Springs. The water was incredibly clean, and from inside the pools, we had amazing views of the Bolivian Altiplano. For a moment, I even forgot I was hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We had lunch on the porch of an old school, and in the afternoon, we visited Laguna Colorada. Its name says it all: the reddish color of the water, the pink flamingos, and the alpacas and llamas around the lagoon created a beautiful scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>First Night in the Altiplano<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end of the afternoon, we arrived at our first accommodation. It was a very simple hostel run by local people from the area. We were in the middle of the desert, with no connection and several hours by car from any city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It wasn\u2019t luxury accommodation, but for me, sleeping there felt like a luxury. They treated us with so much kindness, and the food was delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking Spanish was a big advantage, both at the accommodation and during the transportation. Neither the hosts nor our driver spoke English, so the French couple had a harder time following some of the explanations. Even so, Willy, our driver, made a real effort to make himself understood and explain the history of each place, the landscapes, and the curiosities of the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Salar de Uyuni Tour <strong>Day 2: On the Way to the Salt Accommodation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day, our first stop was Italia Perdida and the Valley of Rocks, a desert full of rock formations with impossible shapes. Some of them looked like natural sculptures. The one that caught my attention the most looked like a camel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also visited the Inca Canyon, a huge rock in the middle of a canyon that looked like something out of a movie. At times, it felt like we were inside a scene from The Lion King.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/inca-canyon.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"vale de las rocas \" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.498821832171195;width:469px;height:auto\" title=\"Ca\u00f1\u00f3n del Inca\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Valley of Rocks and Fauna Sora<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before lunch, our guide showed us a short 10-minute path to Fauna Sora. When we arrived, we found a beautiful little corner surrounded by ducks, colorful vegetation, and rock formations everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We walked around the area for a while, enjoying the peace of the landscape, and then met up with the rest of the group again to continue the route by car.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sora-fauna.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fauna sora salar de uyuni tour\" style=\"width:484px;height:auto\" title=\"Fauna Sora\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lunch and Stop in San Agust\u00edn<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At lunchtime, we arrived at a small bar located along the route to the Uyuni Salt Flats. Several groups gathered there, and each driver prepared lunch for their own travelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The food was delicious, and our group had a great time. After that, we continued to San Agust\u00edn, where we saw an old train station and took the chance to try a couple of quinoa beers at a local craft beer bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A little later, we got back in the car and continued toward the salt accommodation in Uyuni.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/comida-salar-uyuni.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"comida en grupo\" style=\"width:438px;height:auto\" title=\"Comida en grupo\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Arrival at the Salt Accommodation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we arrived, our first impression was a little confusing: the salt accommodation seemed to be made of bricks. Before anyone panicked, Willy explained that because of the<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.howlanders.com\/en\/bolivia\/uyuni-salt-flats\/uyuni-salt-flats-when-to-go\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/blog.howlanders.com\/en\/bolivia\/uyuni-salt-flats\/uyuni-salt-flats-when-to-go\/\"> heavy rainy season in Uyuni<\/a>, it\u2019s impossible to keep the outside of the building made of salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why the exterior is covered with brick, but inside, it is completely built with salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We loved the accommodation. Plus, each couple in the group had a private room, which we were not expecting at all. After a long day on the road, finding a place like that in the middle of the desert felt like a real luxury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shortly after arriving, they served us an afternoon snack, followed by an early and very tasty dinner. It was time to rest early, because the next day one of the most special moments of the Salar de Uyuni Tour was waiting for us: watching the sunrise over the salt flats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Salar de Uyuni Tour Day 3: Sunrise at the Uyuni Salt Flats<\/strong><img title=\"\" alt=\"\"><img title=\"\" alt=\"\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the morning, although it was actually still dark, the whole group was right on time. We loaded the car and started driving toward one of the most anticipated moments of the Salar de Uyuni Tour: watching the sunrise in the middle of the salt flats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We decided to start near Incahuasi Island so we could visit it right afterward. Waiting for the sunrise there was spectacular. It was freezing cold, but as soon as the first ray of sun appeared, we could feel the warmth almost immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/sunrise-uyuni-salt-flats.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"amanecer en el salar de uyuni\" style=\"width:439px;height:auto\" title=\"Amanecer en el Salar de Uyuni\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Incahuasi Island and Giant Cacti<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After watching the sunrise at the Uyuni Salt Flats, we visited Incahuasi Island. It is a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.howlanders.com\/en\/bolivia\/uyuni-salt-flats\/curiosities-about-uyuni-salt-flats\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/blog.howlanders.com\/en\/bolivia\/uyuni-salt-flats\/curiosities-about-uyuni-salt-flats\/\">strange, beautiful, and fun place<\/a> at the same time: an island full of stone paths and giant cacti in the middle of an endless salt desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can imagine, we took a thousand photos. It\u2019s one of those places where it\u2019s hard to put the camera away because everything looks different from any landscape you\u2019ve seen before.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/incahuasi-island.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Isla incahuasi salar de uyuni\" style=\"width:448px;height:auto\" title=\"Isla Incahuasi\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Breakfast in the Middle of the Salt Flats<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we came down from Incahuasi Island, Willy was waiting for us with a salt table set up and an amazing breakfast. There was cake, coffee with milk, cookies, and more food to recover energy after the early start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were starving, and everything was delicious. At that point, we were starting to think that, besides a tour through incredible landscapes, we were also enjoying a small food tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Photos at the Uyuni Salt Flats<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next stops were inside the Uyuni Salt Flats themselves. This was the perfect moment to take the famous perspective photos and some really fun group pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before saying goodbye to this incredible landscape, we also visited the Dakar Monument, one of the best-known stops inside the salt flats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Colchani and the Train Cemetery<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, we left the Uyuni Salt Flats behind and headed to the village of Colchani, known for its souvenir market. We bought a few small gifts for friends and family before continuing the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before lunch, we visited the famous Train Cemetery in Uyuni. It\u2019s one of those curious and photogenic places where it\u2019s impossible not to take out your camera. For a little while, we felt like improvised influencers.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/cementerio-de-trenes.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"cementerio de trenes Uyuni\" style=\"width:428px;height:auto\" title=\"Cementerio de Trenes\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>End of the Tour in Uyuni<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To finish the route, we had lunch at a restaurant where I tried llama meat for the first time. It was delicious, although there was also a vegetarian option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After lunch, they took us to the operator\u2019s office, where we had internet access in case we needed to make a call or send an urgent message. There, we said goodbye to Willy and the rest of the group, who after three days on the road already felt almost like friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that\u2019s how our Salar de Uyuni Tour from Chile ended: tired, happy, and with the feeling of having lived one of the most incredible experiences of the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is the Salar de Uyuni Tour from Chile Worth It?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, absolutely. Taking the Salar de Uyuni Tour from San Pedro de Atacama is definitely worth it if you\u2019re traveling through northern Chile and want to continue your route into Bolivia. In just 3 days, you\u2019ll travel through completely different landscapes: colorful lagoons, geysers, hot springs, deserts, rock formations, the salt accommodation, Incahuasi Island, and, of course, the immense Uyuni Salt Flats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s an intense tour, with early starts, long hours in the vehicle, and altitude changes, but every stop makes the effort worth it. It\u2019s also a very practical way to cross from Chile to Bolivia without having to organize transportation, accommodation, and meals on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re thinking about living this experience, you can check out the Salar de Uyuni Tour from Chile with Howlanders and book the route that best fits your trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They say that in life you should plant a tree, write a book, and have a child.
