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.

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 are young physicians and health workers starting our career fighting coronavirus in the United States who booked a Perla de Bolivia tour for April 2020. We could not go because of our work, and gave this company 4 weeks' notice that we would not be able to travel due to our work. Of course, it was also unsafe to travel and our flights were all canceled as well due to COVID. We would not be able to use any vouchers due to the nature of our work and unpredictability of our schedules. Perla de Bolivia originally said they would refund us the entire amount, and then reneged on their promise. They are the only tour operators to do this and we found it shameful they will not offer us a refund despite COVID and our work.

Accommodation and food will be basic. Due to the hardness of the vehicle field breakdowns are common. Still interested? Well, it must be because if it can be put with a little difficulty it must have a great time.

This was one of the most incredible experiences my family ever had. The agency was very professional the buses that took is from La Paz to Uyuni were formidable, the tour guide/driver was waiting for us at the bus station with the 4WD that would take us through the salt flats took our bags gave us time to have breakfast and the tour started. The tour guide was very professional as driver, as photographer and as a chef, yes a chef, he stopped at restaurant between the ollague volcano and Uyuni and made a meal for my family before we continue our Journey through the different lagunas. Hands down this travel agency is one of the best agencies I have dealt with. My family is always traveling and this is one of the agencies that gave us the best experience. I strongly recommend using their services
