Itinerary

Salar de UyuniThe Dreamy Sunrise Tour

We will begin our Salar de Uyuni Sunrise Tour very early, around 4:00 AM, from our accommodation in Uyuni. A professional, Spanish-speaking driver and English-speaking guide will pick us up. After a short safety briefing, we will drive out into the salt desert under a blanket of stars. The darkness will slowly give way to the ethereal beauty of sunrise over the salt flats.

As we enter Salar de Uyuni, we will find ourselves in a world of pure white silence. This stunning landscape stretches over 11,000 km², making it the largest salt desert in the world. Located in the Andes mountains, it rests at an altitude of 3,650 meters above sea level. We will stop at a strategic point where the views are open, wide, and endless.

The stars above us may still be visible as the first streaks of color appear on the eastern horizon. Slowly, the salt flat begins to glow with pinks, oranges, and golden hues. On rainy season mornings, we might see the famous mirror effect, where the sky reflects perfectly off the thin layer of water. Every reflection turns the landscape into a surreal, dreamlike world.

We will take time to photograph this unforgettable moment. The silence of the Uyuni sunrise tour creates a feeling of calm and connection. We will sip hot coca tea or coffee and warm up while enjoying the early morning light. If we’re lucky, we might see flamingos or other wildlife moving across the reflective surface.

Depending on the conditions, we may stop by the Salt Hotel, a structure built entirely from salt blocks. It once operated as a hotel but now serves as a unique museum and photography spot. Its walls, furniture, and even decorations were made from compressed salt. The morning light makes this place glow with quiet elegance.

Our sunrise Uyuni adventure will finish as we slowly return to Uyuni town. The city will begin to wake as we drive back with a heart full of memories. Those continuing to La Paz by bus or plane will have plenty of time. Others can explore more with additional Uyuni salt flat tours or rest at their accommodation in Uyuni.

A Magical Morning in the Salt Flats!
The Salar de Uyuni Sunrise Tour with Jukil de los Andes was absolutely breathtaking! Watching the sunrise over the endless salt flats felt like a dream. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and the hot tea during the cold morning was a great touch. I’ll never forget those reflections on the salt—pure magic!
