Overview

The beautiful Uyuni salt flats are the world’s largest salt flat. It is located in the Department of Potosi in Southwest Bolivia at 3.650 metres above sea level.

La Isla del Pescado (Fish Island), which is located on the salt flat, is full of giant cactuses and named this way as the ´island´ has the shape of a fish. It is the only sign of life for miles.

Laguna Verde, Laguna Colorada and the hot springs can also be visited during this tour. Laguna Verde is a beautiful green coloured lake close to the Chilean border at the foot of the Licancabur volcano. Its colour is caused by sediments, containing copper minerals. Laguna Colorada is a red coloured lake, also because of the presence of minerals. The lagoons together with the flamingos create a very unique scene of spectacular beauty!

Enjoy a planned and well organised trip from La Paz to Uyuni by comfortable bus. Explore the natural attractions of the salt desert, sleeping in private hotels.
