Important information

Looking for more inspiration? Visit our gallery: Visit South America,  Before taking our Uyuni 4 day tour  you should take into count the following information:

Who is this 4-day Uyuni tour ideal for?

This private tour is perfect for couples, families, and senior travelers looking for an exclusive and comfortable experience across the Andes. With premium lodging options and a slow-paced, scenic route, it’s a great choice for those seeking both adventure and relaxation.

Can I choose upgraded hotels like Palacio de Sal or Tayka del Desierto?

Yes! This tour allows you to upgrade your accommodation to iconic hotels such as Palacio de Sal or Tayka del Desierto, known for their unique architecture, comfort, and exceptional location. Standard hotel options are also available.

What is the altitude during the tour? Should I worry about acclimatization?

The elevation ranges between 3,600 and 5,000 meters (11,800–16,400 feet). To avoid altitude sickness, we highly recommend arriving at least 1–2 days early in La Paz or Sucre to properly acclimate before starting the tour.

What makes the 4-day version different from the 3-day tour?

The 4-day itinerary includes an additional scenic detour on Day 2 toward the Tunupa Volcano region, offering panoramic views of the Salt Flats and local communities. It’s a chance to experience less-visited routes with epic photo opportunities.

What kind of transportation is provided?

You will travel in a private 4WD vehicle (Toyota Land Cruiser 2000 - 2009' or similar), fully equipped for off-road travel in the high Andes. Vehicles come with oxygen, emergency gear, and experienced drivers trained for remote routes.

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.
