If you are traveling to Bolivia, a day trip to the Uyuni Salt Flats is something that can't be missed! Cruise along out-of-this-world landscapes and take incredible perspective photos in the world's largest salt flats.The Salar de Uyuni or “salt flats” is one of the world's highest deserts, surrounded by mountains and volcanoes that reaches 5000 meters (16,400 feet) above sea level.
Start your tour off at 10:30am with a visit to Uyuni's 'train graveyard' to see the first locomotives in Bolivia. Then, visit the small village of Colchani (salt miners workshops next to the salt flats) before continuing on to the great salt flats of Uyuni. Along the way, see many piles of salt and the 'eyes of the salt' (big holes in the salt flats where the water, from underneath this death lake, still comes out by high pressure).
Take photos as you cruise along the vast white expanse of salt, and visit a hotel made completely of salt. After lunch, travel to Inca Huasi (Fish Island), in the middle of the salt flats, where you will have time to take a hike to the top of the island to see giant cactus and rock formations made of petrified coral.
Take time to organize your group for fun perspective and proportion-distorted photos on the blinding white surface of the salt flats. Then make your way north in the direction of the big Volcano Thunupa (5,434m / 17,828 feet) and get some pictures from the distance. Return back to Uyuni around 6:30pm and enjoy a fantastic sunset in the Salar of Uyuni.
