Most travelers come to Uyuni to visit some of the world’s most unusual terrain—the Salar de Uyuni. This is the world’s largest salt flat, and you’ll want to bring a camera for surreal photos of salt-encrusted ground, geysers, and multicolored lakes.

Without a doubt one of the most stunning and special places in the world we have toured, it is advisable to book a three-day tour well in advance from one of the leading companies in the area, rather than from small companies.

Tunupa Volcano

Reviewed By TBIRDMAN

We did a one day trip fro Uyuni , Bolivia. It was a beautiful ride across the salt flats . We visited a small museum at the little town at the base and then drove up to the level where you park and take a very easy hike to see the mummies . If one desires you can hike to the top . We used a private guide called Luis Fernando who was a perfect English speaking guide .

Geiser Sol de la Manana

Reviewed By Sean_kti - Santa Clara, United States

We took a 3D/2N tour and after the salt flats itself Geiser was definitely the highlight of our trip. The videos of bubbling mud look great (especially in slow-mo), and you can get nice photos and videos walking out of the fog that's coming out of the ground.

Laguna Canapa

Reviewed By 3311alabama

When we arrived to this lake, we had the pleasure of meeting a man who is living in this desolate part of desert and who has built a place to rest and a bathroom. He is also in charge to keep a good part of the road free of stones or potholes. Our guide Edgar took us there not only to admire the beauty of the Laguna but also to have a well deserved lunch time. While Edgar was preparing the lunch we had the opportunity of walking towards the lake, which was surrounded by patches of salt and snow. Since we were in winter there weren't many flamingos, but it did not matter as the beauty of the Laguna itself was enough to delight the eyes. I could not reach the edge of the lake as my 89 years old mom was with me and she was not strong enough to climb down in a safe manner. When we arrived the wind was not an issue but when we decided to head back to the resting place the wind gained strength and almost knocked us down. Luckily the worst part of the windstorm happened when we were having lunch. Once we finished, the calm had returned to this isolate and beautiful lake.

Laguna Blanca

Reviewed By JoseLMello - Union, United States

The characteristic of the white color of the water, which gave the lake its name, is caused by the high amount of minerals suspended in it. Only a narrow corridor separates the lagoon of color Blanca from the other lagoon color Green. Both are within the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Wildlife Reserve. The milky and surreal waters have incredible tones, this tour is absolutely recommendable.
