Day 1: La Paz to Uyuni
Your service begins with pickup from your hotel in La Paz (1 hour before the bus departure time), at which point you will take a night bus to Uyuni. The selected bus comes with reclining seats, a bathroom on board, English assistance, and a small dinner included.

Day 2: Uyuni to San Juan
Following a 9-hour bus ride, you will be transferred to the offices where you will enjoy a delicious breakfast before beginning your tour of the Uyuni Salt Flats and the colourful lagoons. The first stopping point is the “train cemetery”, where you will be able to see old and time-worn trains.

You will then continue your tour to the “Salar de Uyuni” by Colchani, where you can observe the manual processing of edible salt. Following this, your tour continues to visit the salt mounds and the centre of the Salar, where you will visit the Isla Incahuasi, a natural formation of volcanic rock and giant cacti.

Day 3: San Juan to Laguna Colorada
After enjoying a delicious breakfast, your guide will direct you to the south west where you will discover the Cañapa, Stink, Chiarkota, Honda, and Ramadita lagoons. At these locations you can observe large amounts of flamingos and other birds, such as Andean Geese and seagulls that accompany the flamingos in these lagoons which are flanked by picturesque snowy volcanoes.

Your tour then continues to the “Laguna Colorada” where you will spend the night in a roomprivada. Following an exquisite local dinner, you can observe the stars and the milky way which are clearly visible due to this place being considered one of the cleanest places on the planet.

Day 4: Lagoons, Uyuni, La Paz

Continuing with your trip, you will travel over the highest point of the road at approximately 5,000 metres above sea level. Your trip then continues with a visit to Laguna Colorada before continuing to the “stone tree” and along the high plateau road to reach the hot springs of Polques. There you can take a hot bath and then cross the desert of Dali to reach the green lagoon located at the foot of the Licancabur Volcano.
