Explore our Bolivia Gallery! Before booking this Uyuni Salt Flats Bolivia Tour, you have to take into account the following:
The best season to visit Uyuni could be from March to May. Better climate, without masses, better prices, and landscapes that are not from this planet - the perfect mirror effect -
Known as the magic season of Uyuni, these months the rains and diversions of rivers cause the flooding of the Salar de Uyuni, creating a layer of water (from 1cm to 50cm) that provides the mirror effect so desired by many travelers, That is why this season is usually one of the busiest and highest in Uyuni (note: prices can double or triple).
The closest airport to get access to Bolivia’s highlands is El Alto International Airport in La Paz, which is connected with several other cities in South America as well as North American hubs such as Miami. From El Alto you can take buses or flights from international airlines to reach Uyuni town or the salt flats themselves.
The unique environment of the salt flats creates an array of wildlife opportunities for visitors including flamingos, vicuñas, alpacas, and more.
Activities that can be enjoyed at Uyuni include visiting the salt desert and its Islands, taking a sightseeing tour, mountain biking and trekking, experiencing geothermal activity, paragliding and hot air ballooning and visiting colonial towns nearby.
When travelling through the area surrounding Salar de Uyuni, visitors are expected to observe certain local cultural traditions. It is important to be respectful of the land and environment, as well as mindful of cultural practices. Travelers should observe traditional ceremonies such as making offerings to Pachamama (Mother Earth) with coca leaves and incense. By following these customs, visitors can help create an atmosphere that is respectful, welcoming, and conducive to sharing a unique experience with community members.
Although visitors are not exposed directly to many health risks while exploring the area, it is possible they could suffer mild symptoms related to altitude sickness due to extreme elevations reaching up 3,656 meters above sea level in some parts of the area so it's important visitors understand this risk before traveling there.

TRUSTWORTHY EXPERIENCE
From the time we arrived in Peru until the last minute that we stayed there, we were taken good care of by the VSA team! Loved how tailor-made their services are, custom-made to the time we had in Peru and the places we most wanted to experience. I look forward to visiting South America again and knowing VSA will be there to take care of absolutely everything makes us more at ease to travel there.
