THE AMAZING UYUNI SALT FLATS
ONE DAY TRIP
OVERVIEW
Embark on an unforgettable expedition in an off-road jeep 4×4 through the vast and blinding-white salt flats of Uyuni.
Begin an unforgettable trip through almost 7,500 square miles (12,000 km²) of fantastic landscapes of salt.
The dazzling white mantle of the Salar de Uyuni resembles an immense glacier. In winter (dry season from May to October), when the surface hardens, geometric figures formed by the salt particles agglomerated into polygons appear. In summer (rainy season from November to March) the salt desert is transformed into a giant mirror that blends into the sky of the purest blue you’ve ever seen before.
Season: All year around
* In the Rainy Season, could be not possible to visit the island.
