Start: Day 1 at 7:00 am at your hotel in San Pedro de Atacama.

End: Day 4 at 6:00 pm in the bus station or downtown San Pedro de Atacama (this end time could be modified due to weather conditions or force majeure reasons, which is why we recommend you leaving San Pedro de Atacama the day after the end date of the tour).

Day 1: Pick-up will be at your hotel and then we will set off for the border crossing between Chile and Bolivia, where we will go through customs and border procedures and then begin the tour that includes a visit to the Verde and Blanca Lagoons and the Polques Hot Springs. Then, we will continue on to the Sol de Mañana Geysers and the Colorada Lagoon before reaching our hotel.

Day 2: We will leave in the morning to begin the visit to a number of Altiplanic lagoons in the middle of the Andes Mountain Range. We will see the Cachi, Honda, and Chiarkota Lagoons and we will also make stops at the Hedionda and Cañapa Lagoons so we can take pictures and stretch our legs after the time spent traveling in the vehicle. Finally, we will stop at the Chiguana Salt Flat before going to our hotel to have dinner and then get some sleep.

Day 3: We will start the day very early in the morning to enter the Uyuni Salt Flat and get set up in a superb spot to see the sunrise. After giving a warm greeting to the sun, we will cross the endless white stretch of the salt flat until reaching Incahuasi Island. We will be able to explore the trails and climb up to the highest part of the island where we will have a 360° view of the salt flat. Then we will visit the Salt Museum and the Dakar Monument, and we will leave the salt flat to visit the town of Colchani. In addition we will pass by the Train Cemetery to go over the place and take pictures. We will then continue on until reaching our hotel to get some sleep.

Day 4: Like the Uyuni Salt Flat (4 days) standard tour, this day is dedicated solely to the return trip from Uyuni, which is why we will leave very early from the hotel to get on the road to the border. Here we will go through the corresponding procedures and then continue on to San Pedro de Atacama, where we will end the tour.

Altiplano winter

From January to April, a weather phenomenon occurs that is known as Altiplano winter, which is the rainy season in the central Andes. Due to this, the described itinerary may be modified as follows:

• The second night would not be in the Hotel Tayka de Piedra, but in the Hotel Luna Salada or a similar hotel in Uyuni.
• We would not visit the Incahuasi Island because it is located in the middle of the salt flat where we find the largest concentration of water during the rainy season.

Changes due to force majeure

These are referential itineraries. The route to get to the salt flat, the places visited, the indicated order and the end time will always be subject to change according to weather conditions, road conditions, unforeseen events, and accommodations availability. The itinerary is confirmed in the briefing given by the supplier the day before the start of the activity. However, the itinerary still could be modified due to the occurrence of the aforementioned situations once the tour has already begun.

• If you cancel with a 30-day notice before the beginning of the tour, we will make a full refund of what you paid for the booking.
• If you cancel with less than a 30-day notice before the beginning of the tour, we will not make any refund of what you paid for the booking.
