Description

Day 1 We will pick you up at the meeting point and take you by minibus from San Pedro de Atacama to the Chile-Bolivia border. After crossing the border, we will change to a 4x4 vehicle for 6 people. On this first day, we will visit places in the Bolivian highlands, such as Laguna Blanca and Laguna Verde, located at the foot of the Licancabur volcano. We will continue by visiting the Salvador Dali Desert and the Polques hot springs, where we will have time to swim. In addition, we will visit the Sol de Mañana geysers, intermittent water springs that erupt at 90 °C. Finally, we will visit Laguna Colorada, the nesting center for more than 30,000 flamingos. Spend the night in a hostel in Villamar. Day 2 We visit the Valley of Rocks, also known as the World Cup or Lost Italy, the place where volcanic rock took the shape of what appears to be an abandoned city. Then, visit Camello, Sora, where you can see wild animals. Stop at a mysterious lagoon or catal where you can walk and see the typical flora and fauna of the Bolivian Altiplano. See Laguna Vinto, Mirador and Anaconda Canyon. At the end of the day, we will transfer to the Salt Hotel in Colcha K, where we will spend the second night. Day 3 Early in the morning, we will take our vehicle and move to the salt flat. We will see the sunrise over the white blanket formed by the accumulation of salt and then we will move to Incahuasi Island. Here, we can briefly walk through this limestone rock formation, which contains a giant cactus. Enjoy a stunning view of the salt flat. Afterwards, we will visit the Salt Museum and leave the salt flat for the town of Colchani, where we will stop to buy handicrafts. Then, we will pass by the train cemetery to take some photos before arriving in Uyuni, where we will end our tour.
