Your Travel Experience with Bamba
Day 1
At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from the hotel in La Paz and transfer to the airport to catch your flight to Uyuni.
Today, we depart for our first foray onto the Uyuni Salt Flats. We'll be picked up from the airport and the journey begins with a short visit to the famed (and rusting) train cemetery, full of rusting train cars that were once used to transport minerals and people to and from Uyuni.
We then continue to the salt-harvesting village of Colchani to see how the locals produce salt.
After this (finally!) we will reach the great Uyuni Salt Flats, visiting the bizarre Incahuasi Island that is covered in enormous cacti and from where we get an amazing view of the flats.
Day 1 - 2
We will enjoy a beautiful sunset in the middle of the endless expanse of glittering salt and then return to Colchani to spend the night in a Salt Lodge!
Day 2
Today our adventure continues through the lunar landscapes of the southern altiplano at Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve. As the country's most visited protected area, the reserve boasts volcanos, deserts, colorful lagoons, and unique Andean wildlife, such as flamingos. Enjoy lunch next to one of the region’s multi-colored lagoons.
Then, we will continue to Siloli Desert, where we will witness the wonder of great rock formations thanks to the wind erosion over the years.
The tour will finish with a visit to the red-colored Laguna Colorada before heading to your accommodation for a well-earned rest.
Day 2 - 3
In the evening, head to your accommodation for overnight.
Day 3
Today we continue on to the most southern part of Lípez and Eduardo National Park, created to help conserve the region’s flora and fauna. Among other stops, we’ll be able to enjoy geysers and thermal waters and, if you dare, have a soak! Then, we will travel through the (surreal!) Dali Desert and visit the Green Lagoon with Licancabur Volcano as a backdrop.
We’ll have a box lunch en route to Uyuni, passing through the Valley of the Stones, yet another extraordinary geological formation created by wind and sand erosion.
We reach Uyuni's airport in the late afternoon and we’ll take our flight back to La Paz.
