1. 3 Days Uyuni salt flat and colored lagoons from Uyuni
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 2 reviews
Begin an unforgettable trip through almost 7,500 square miles (12,000 km²) of fantastic landscapes of salt and surrealist landscapes of deserts and colored lagoons of the Eduardo Avaroa Reserve. 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.

We booked a tour to the Valley of The Moon and Mt Chacaltaya out of LaPaz. We were there in November, 2019 during the post election protests. We met our guide, Patti, at a rendezvous point near the Prada. The pick up was about 30 minutes late. The part of the tour to the Valley of the Moon was canceled due to protestors blocking the road. We received no refund. We did drive to Mt Chacaltaya and scrambled to the top. Although the walk is not steep and the path pretty good, be prepared for a tough climb given the altitude of about 17,000 feet. You will need to take numerous stops and the climb will take longer than you expect. The views of the surrounding Andes Mountains was spectacular. Well worth the effort. Overall the trip was fine, but make sure you know what you are getting yourself into. Also, we were somewhat disappointed by the reluctance of our guide to stop and allow us to take pictures at various places on the trip. If you choose to take this trip, be sure to inquire carefully about the logistics.

Trips to the Salar de Uyuni are an unforgettable experience, but unfortunately, the general level of facilities and services that are not very high in this remote area. We would like to make it clear that things are not as reliable, comfortable and professional as we would like on these trips, so for this reason we do not promise more than you will receive for your money.

We were linked with Andrea Tours through a tour group in Ecuador and we couldn't have been more pleased. Our guide Laura was warm and friendly, and we learned so much. With the above-and-beyond efforts of her and our driver, we made it to Cactus Island while the surrounding flats were still reflective. We got some amazing, one-of-a-kind views and photos, not to mention we had the whole island to ourselves! We also got a sunset tour and stargazing tour as a result of the longer journey. The stargazing wasn't even included in our itinerary. The flats were an out-of-this-planet experience, and we couldn't have enveloped ourselves more within them. We're truly grateful for a peaceful, reflective, breathtaking, and unforgettable experience.

The best tour, We felt very safe and was easy to organise! We traveled with a 3 year old and this was by far the best tour agency and they are not expensive too! She also organises private stargazing tours in the salts. Our guide spoke english and he was a wonderful photographer. He took a million pictures and helped us with those perspective photos and videos too! They don't pack you in a big group. We were a group of four and it was perfect! I like that this tour agency is not money minded. In fact we had to chase her to pay the money. She was very kind and I would absolutely recommend her!

Me and a friend climbed Huyana Potosi in January 2020 with Pedro from Bolivia Mountaineering. I can only recommend to do the tour with him. A few days before the trip I met up at his office and he took his time (at least 1,5 hours) to discuss everything about the trek. After that I felt well informed what to expect. He was very honest about the level of difficulty and the dangers of climbing huyana potosi, but at the same time he gave me the feeling that I can do it (I wasn't that sure about it before that). He was also flexible regarding the starting date. We waited for a few days to start the trek in order to start on a day the weather forecast was more promising (it was during rainy season, so most days weren't very suitable to climb the mountain). We decided to climb it in only 2 days (1 night). However, we've already spent 1-2 weeks in altitudes above 3500 metres. If you're not acclimatized yet,it probably makes more sense to do it in 3 days (and spend some days in and around la paz, there are lots of other day hikes you can do such as Pico Austria to get prepared).The equipment he provided us was in a good condition. The first day we climbed to the refuge (at around 5200 metres of altitude). After arriving at the shelter we went to the glacier and he explained us how to walk in the ice/snow with the crampons, how to make use of the ice axe, etc. I felt well prepared to get to the summit after this. After that we had dinner and went to bed, as you have to wake up at midnight to start climbing the summit (the food/snacks we got provided with were good). We started walking around 1-1.30 am. Pedro (and the other guide who came with us) were patient when we needed breaks, but at the same time he tried to push us a little and therefore gave us the confidence to make it to the top. I'm not going to lie, the climb is not easy at all, not very technical, only one part you have to climb in the ice, but the altitude makes it very hard. But it's very rewarding, definitely my best experience in South America so far. If you're in La Paz and want to climb huyana potosi, I can only recommend to do it with Pedro and Bolivia Mounteneering! Thanks!
