TOUR DESCRIPTION

It’s time to take a step into one of the best experiences that Bolivia can offer. We will make our first stop at the train cemetery full of 200-year-old train engines full of stories, plunged with history, myth and reality. Going forward, we’ll find the Colchani town, where rustic factories work with the salt, to then arrive at the giant cacti island. The hike through the Incahuasi also reveals the extent of the distance you’ve just been through, and will mark the time for a picnic lunch break, while you enjoy the landscape. Just before the evening, you’ll be able to witness a majestic sunset, that will change your perspective of the planet itself.

Overnight stay at the selected hotel in Uyuni, Colchani or Tahua.

After a delicious breakfast, we continue our adventure to Hedionda Lagoon on the way we visit the Saint Cristobal town where you’ll hear the story of this town that has been entirely rebuilt. From here, we make our way to the small lagoons of Cañapa and Hedionda, where you’ll be greeted by three different species of flamingos that make the perfect post-card-like imagery. Before we call it a day, we take a lunch in local restaurant to further enjoy a local hotel and gather ourselves for the third and last day.

At the end of the afternoon arrive at the hotel to rest and recharge batteries to continue the exciting experience.

Overnight stay at Eco-Hotel Los Flamencos.

After a delicious breakfast, head out towards the Siloli Desert passing through 2 small lagoons: chiarkhota and honda, passing through the undulating landscape to see one of the most surprising rock formations, the famous Tree-Rock, a million-year-old formation that resembles a mirage in the middle of the desert.The Red Lagoon, caused by underwater vegetation, which pink flamingos call a home, going forward to the Sol de Mañana geyser, which shoots vapor above 50 feet into the air, making way to relaxing Hot Springs of Polques, where you’ll be able to use to bath if desired, in the middle of an astonishing view. Time for lunch at a local restaurant. We later cross the Desierto de Dali, until we reach the Green Lagoon, at the base of the Licancabur Volcano, that will leave a long-lasting memory with its emerald shade. Return to Uyuni or continue to Hito Cajon. After all these majestic adventures the tour comes to an end, but it promises to linger in your mind for the rest of your life.
