Itinerary

Detailed Itinerary

Day 1: Uyuni – Colchani – Incahuasi Island – Agencha

Highlight of the Day: Explore the world’s largest salt flat, visit Incahuasi Island, and enjoy an unforgettable sunset with spectacular panoramic views over the endless white landscapes of Salar de Uyuni.

We will pick up at 10:30 a.m. with a drive to the Uyuni Salt Flats. The first stop will be the Train Cemetery, where you can explore rusted steam locomotives that were once part of Bolivia’s railway network. Next, visit the small village of Colchani, known for its artisanal salt workshops and crafts made from salt, llama, and alpaca wool.

Along the way, you’ll see the Salt Museum Hotel and iconic landmarks like the Flags of the World and the Dakar Monument. Lunch will be served near Incahuasi Island, where you’ll hike among giant cacti and enjoy sweeping views of the salt flats. Before sunset, enjoy time for fun perspective photos on the blinding-white surface of the Salar.

As the day ends, you’ll toast with a glass of wine while watching the sky turn golden and pink over the salt flats—one of the most scenic moments of the trip. This peaceful setting offers a perfect balance between adventure and relaxation.

Day 2: Chiguana Desert – Andean Lagoons – Siloli Desert – Red Lagoon

After breakfast, the day begins with a drive through the Chiguana Desert, located at the foot of the still-active Ollagüe Volcano. The route continues through a chain of Andean lagoons Cañapa, Hedionda, and Chiarcota—where flamingos and other bird species thrive in mineral-rich waters surrounded by snow-capped peaks.

As you travel deeper into the altiplano, the landscape transforms into the striking Siloli Desert. You’ll stop to photograph the Stone Tree, a natural rock formation carved by wind over centuries. Before reaching the Red Lagoon, you’ll pass stunning highland scenery painted in earth tones that shift with the sun and wind.

The Red Lagoon itself is a spectacle, with its vivid red color created by algae and plankton, attracting hundreds of flamingos. The region’s isolation and beauty make it one of Bolivia’s most remarkable natural reserves.

Today, we will start at 5:00 a.m., with a visit to the Sol de Mañana Geysers, where steam vents and bubbling mud pools erupt at sunrise. At over 5,000 meters above sea level, the cold air and volcanic activity create a surreal setting. From there, you’ll head to the Polques Hot Springs for a relaxing soak with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.

Next, cross the Dalí Desert, named for its strange rock formations that resemble surrealist art. Then continue to the Green and White Lagoons at the base of Licancabur Volcano, where mineral-rich waters change color with the light and wind. A roadside picnic lunch is included on your return.
