Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is it possible to make the tour the same day that I arrive at the city of Uyuni, whether it be by bus or plane?
Yes, as long as you be at the meeting point in time for the beginning of the tour. You must consider that the meeting point is a 5-minutes’ walk from the bus station of Uyuni and 10 minutes from the airport of Uyuni by car.
-
Is it possible to reschedule the departure date and/or hour of the tour in case the flight or bus in which I will be travelling be late?
There will be no rescheduling in case you cannot make it in time for the beginning of the tour. In case you do not show up at the time of the beginning of the tour, you will lose the deposit paid and, in case you want to make the tour in another date, you will have to make the booking again through our website.
-
Is it possible to go back to the city before the ending time of the tour?
No, it is not possible to go back before the ending time of the tour, so our recommendation is that, in case you want to take a bus towards another place in Bolivia the same day of the tour, buy your ticket with an after 9:00 pm departure.

Is it possible that you pick me up at the bus station or in the airport to begin the tour?
No, we do not make pickups in the bus station nor the airport.

Can I take the tour if I am staying in a hotel outside the city of Uyuni?
Yes, it is possible. For this, you have to coordinate a transportation from your Hotel to the meeting point in Uyuni, from where the tour begins.

I have used DeNomades to plan and organize a wonderful trip during our stay in San Pedro de Atacama. I wanted to make sure we control the buget, all is scheduled and of good quality. We only had 2 days but with DeNomades we were able to fit the itinerary of 4 days...
