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

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

Day 1: We will pick you up at your accommodation and you will begin the journey to the border crossing between Chile and Bolivia. There you will complete the customs formalities, and then you will begin the journey through Bolivia, which includes a visit to the Verde and Blanca lagoons, and the Polques Hot Springs. You will then continue towards the Sol de Mañana Geysers and Colorada Lagoon, before arriving at the accommodation.

Day 2: This day has two possible routes, depending on the available accommodation from the night before. If you stay at the Tayka Desierto or Flamencos Altiplano hotels, you will follow the route that goes through the Cachi, Honda, Chiarkota and Cañapa Altiplanic Lagoons. If you stay at the Mallku Cueva Hotel, you will take the Tomás Lakha Route, through Lost Italy, Catal Lagoon and Anaconda Canyon. With either route you will be able to see wonderful landscapes of the Altiplano until you reach your accommodation for this second day.

Day 3: You will start the day mid-morning to visit Salar de Uyuni. You will have access to some points of interest, such as Incahuasi Island, where you can walk along its trails and reach the highest part of the island, from where you will have a 360º view of the endless white of the salt flat. Then you can visit the Salt Museum, the Dakar monument and you will also go a little further away to visit Colchani. You will have the chance to go around Uyuni and see the Train Cemetery, then return to the salt flat to get ready to watch the sunset, a true spectacle. Then, you will go to your accommodation to finish the day.

Day 4: This day you will only be returning from Uyuni, so you will leave very early to begin the journey to the border. There you will complete the corresponding formalities and then continue to San Pedro de Atacama, where the tour ends.

*The pickup service included does not operate to nor from accommodations located outside the urban area of San Pedro de Atacama, accommodations located in ayllus near San Pedro de Atacama (Quitor, Yaye, Checar, Sequitor, Solor, and Coyo), nor accommodations in the town of Toconao.

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 will be in the Hotel Luna Salada or a similar hotel in Uyuni.
• We will not visit the Incahuasi Island because it is located 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.
