The three day complete tour is the Best Salt Flat Tours Uyuni. It takes you to an out worldly attraction in Bolivia. This is the largest high altitude salt flat in the world. Stretching over 10,582 square kilometres, this surreal place is on every traveller’s bucket list in South America.
Millions of years ago this was the site where Lago Michin flowed. It left behind these salt crystals. To locals, this is the place where heaven meets earth. During rainy season you will be able to witness the mirror effect.
Although there are shorter tours to visit the Salt Flats. The three days tour is ideal. It takes you to some remote and astonishing sites. We start at the renowned train cemetery or cemeterio de trenes. It is a massive graveyard, of locomotives. A few years ago Bolivian government scrapped a project of building railway line.
This was to enhance their trade relationship with neighbouring countries. They left these trains here whose shallowed bodies have been rusting with the winds blowing from the Salt Flats.
This tour takes you to more interesting sites like the Pink Lagoon or Laguna Colorada. It is home to the Pink Andean Flamingos. You will also be visiting some rock formations, different coloured lagoons and breathtaking landscapes along the way. Whats more? You will be spending a night in a hotel made entirely of salt blocks.
Admire the beauty of mother nature with a sight of milky way and galaxy amidst the world’s largest salt flats.
