Salar de Uyuni, often called the “Jewel of Bolivia,” stretches across 10,000 square kilometers (3,860 square miles) of pure wonder. During our 2 day tour Uyuni Salt Flats Private Tour, we will explore the surreal beauty of this natural masterpiece. The salt flats, honored in 2019 as South America’s Best Natural Tourist Attraction, promise an unforgettable experience. We will dive deep into Bolivia’s iconic landscapes with total comfort and privacy.

We will begin at the Train Cemetery, where rusted locomotives tell tales from Bolivia’s mining past. In Colchani, we may watch locals extract salt using traditional tools. Our route will lead us across salt mounds, bubbling springs, and reflective plains. We will enjoy lunch near Hotel de Sal Playa Blanca, made entirely of salt blocks.

Next, we will visit Isla Incahuasi, a cactus-covered island in the middle of the salt desert. Walking around the island, we’ll enjoy views of 360-degree salt horizons. We will wait for sunset, when the flats turn into a golden mirror. As night falls, we will rest in a salt hotel in San Juan village.

On day two, we will travel early toward Bolivia’s surreal rock valleys and highland lagoons. We will explore Laguna Katal and the hidden beauty of Italy Lost. These locations are remote and wild, accessible only with skilled 4×4 navigation. We will feel the silence and vastness of the Andean plateau.

We will then visit Valle de Rocas, where wind-sculpted stones create otherworldly formations. At San Cristóbal, we will admire a historic 17th-century Jesuit church. Our Private Tour Uyuni Salt Flats 2 day Tour will end back in Uyuni by late afternoon. This journey will leave us with unforgettable memories and breathtaking photos.

With Jukil de los Andes, we will travel in safe 4×4 vehicles, guided by experienced local drivers. All tours include meals and lodging, with the option to upgrade accommodations. This private experience will allow us to travel at our pace and make every stop count. The salt flats will not only dazzle our eyes but also awaken our spirits.
