• 4Spectacular scenery, disappointing guide

  The scenery was nothing short of spectacular and actually surpassed my expectations. We got to see so much in the 3 days, from the salt flats to the lagoons, flamingos and volcanic landscapes. The scenery alone made the trip worthwhile. Unfortunately, the guide let the experience down. We didn't really receive any briefings at the start of each day, and instead we'd arrive at a location and he'd tell us where we were and how long we had to explore. It would have been nice to have had a bit more information about the places we were visiting and what to expect each day. The biggest issue, though, was how pushy he was about us paying to visit a cave that wasn't even part of the itinerary. All five of us said we didn't want to go, but we were still driven there, made to get out of the car and then badgered into going inside. It was uncomfortable and frustrating, especially when we'd already made it clear we weren't interested. The food was another downside. It was very basic, and noticeably more basic than what I saw other groups on different tours being served. Overall, the scenery and the places we visited were incredible, and we got to see a lot in just 3 days. However, the experience would have been much better with a more engaging guide, less pressure to pay for additional activities and better food.

• 5A fantastic trip to an incredible place

  We had a fantastic time on our 3-day, 2-nights Uyuni Salt Flats trip. Our guide Cristhian was fantastic - he spoke great English, was enthusiastic and friendly and ensured we got everywhere smoothly. The pick up and drop off in Uyuni was well organised and the communication with the tour operator in the lead up to the trip was great. The trip itself was incredible, and we saw and did so much in the 3 days. The accommodation for both nights was basic but serviceable.

• 5Great communications and Expert guidance

  All of the tour operators in the salt flats visit the same places. There's really no difference in what you'll see — in fact we ran into the same people from other tour operators repeatedly on our trip. What confirmed that we made the right choice was the great communications from the team and our guide, Pablo. Our special request to end our trip in Chile was confirmed immediately and handled flawlessly. Pablo was super helpful in pushing our trip back a day after our flight was cancelled, and arranging a hotel for the night in Uyuni and a early morning catch-up transfer the next morning for one of us who was sick on arrival. We were provided with responsive messaging on whatsapp, expert guidance and flexible options. Travel in this area can be impacted by weather and flight cancellations, as ours was, and that's where Latina Boliva really shined. Highly recommended.

• 5Amazing, once in a lifetime experience!

  This was a beautiful trip! I was constantly in awe of the surroundings. We saw tons of wildlife and the mountains were unbelievably stunning. The stops were well planned and Pablo was a very informative guide. I went in July, peak winter, and it was quite cold, so definitely pack warm clothes! The accommodations don't have heating, but with my thermals, the sleeping bag, and all of the blankets, I was able to stay warm all night. The food was good & they gave plenty of snacks. The driver was very safe and clearly a professional! I highly recommend this tour.

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.
