Explore the Salar de Uyuni and Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve on a 3-day tour with basic accommodation. Discover the Train Cemetery, Plaza de las Banderas, and Incahuasi Island. See the Ollagüe Volcano, Altiplanic Lagoons, and the Stone Tree. Day 1: Salar de Uyuni Begin your tour with pickup from your Uyuni hotel and enjoy an American breakfast. Head to the Train Cemetery, then continue to Colchani and the Salt Factories. Learn about salt production in Bolivia. Enter the world’s largest salt flat and see the Eyes of Salt. Stop at Plaza de las Banderas, where flags from several countries are displayed. See the Dakar Monument and have lunch at the world’s first hotel made entirely of salt. Take photos at the Salar de Uyuni, then head to Incahuasi Island. See coral fossils, giant cacti, and the Tunupa Volcano. Watch the sunset over the salt flat, then head to your accommodation at a salt lodge. Day 2: Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve After breakfast, head to the community of San Juan to buy snacks and use the restrooms. See the Ollagüe volcano, an active volcano sacred to indigenous communities. Continue to the highland lagoons of Cañapa, Hedionda, Chiarkota, and Honda. Pink flamingos, Andean ducks, and seagulls are easy to photograph here. Lunch will be served near Hedionda lagoon. After lunch, head into the Siloli Desert, 6,000 meters above sea level. This area is home to the famous Stone Tree and other giant rock formations. Cross Bolivia’s most visited national park and see Laguna Colorada, home to pink flamingos.
