3Great Guide/Driver, Poor Agency
My flight into Uyuni was delayed by about 6 hours, so we couldn’t do the full 3 day tour. First off, the driver and guide were excellent! Intense knowledge of all the history and sites, great care taken throughout to ensure we had a great time. They explained the itinerary as we went so we always knew what to expect. 5/5 for them. Can’t say enough good things about them. The communication from the agency was pretty bad, incomplete, and provided at the last minute. The modified two day itinerary still allowed us to see a bunch of the salar and surrounding areas, but obviously parts were left out. They also offered an evening experience on the first day, and 5 minutes later said it wasn’t available. The itinerary provided by the agency was incorrect in multiple points and mostly caused more confusion than clarity. Overall, most interactions with the agency left us feeling like we were a burden to them instead of them acting to support their clients as best as possible. Highly recommend the drivers and guides, but I’d avoid this agency.
5Amazing sceneries
Exactly as described. The scenery is absolutely stunning. The geysers and wildlife sightings—flamingos, desert rodents, and camelids—were far more impressive than what we experienced in San Pedro de Atacama. The night skies were incredibly clear, and we even saw the Milky Way. The road is bumpy, but that only adds to the adventure. Our tour operator prepared delicious breakfasts and lunches that easily outshone the dinners at the lodging hotels. All rooms are private with en-suite bathrooms and hot showers—something rare in this region and deeply appreciated. Highly recommended!
5Beautiful itenary
Loved this tour! Well organised, both accommodatios are private rooms with hot showers. Beautiful itenary! Stunnig scenery on every step of the way. Food basic but tasty and plantiful.
5Uyuni Salted Caramel Tour
A very exceptional tour for us I highly recommend this Andes to anyone visiting Uyuni. The care and hospitality that we had is above and beyond our expectations. Even due to the Gas shortage in the city chops our 3days to a 2days tour still this company never failed to satisfy us. The amount of efforts that they given and the enthusiasm of the Tour Guide are absolutely incredible. I salute “BERNARDO” our driver the happiness that he shared to everyone is truly amazing… Thank you for having us and we had an amazing time definitely we will do this again…
5Absolutely incredible trip
The landscape is absolutely stunning, each view is somehow better than the last. The drivers handle some pretty minimal roads extremely well and the trip and the timing is very well organised. The accomodation is pretty minimal (but that's not why you visit) and it can get cold so pack layers
5Amazing 3 day tour - would recommend!
We had the best 3 day uyuni tour with our guide Raquel and driver Oscar, the dream team! Raquel was the perfect mix of informative, efficient to keep us on track (but we never felt rushed) and relaxed, leaving us to have time alone. Our time with her was fun, engaging and they both took some great pics for us! Wouldn’t change a thing about our trip. We hope to come back to Bolivia again one day - and hope they’re available when we do!

About Uyuni
Uyuni is a high, dusty town on Bolivia's southern altiplano, the starting point for crossings of the vast white Salar de Uyuni salt flat.
Uyuni stands at about 3,650 metres on the southern Altiplano, a wind-swept railway town of wide streets and low buildings. Its train cemetery, a few kilometres out on the plain, holds rusting steam locomotives and carriages left from the days when British-built railways carried minerals to the Pacific. The town is the main base for visits to the Salar de Uyuni.
Top-ranked sights in Uyuni: Train Cemetery (Cementerio de Trenes), Tunupa Volcano.
