The flats skew perspective, providing incredible displays of light as reflections from the sun, moon, and stars shift throughout the day.

Traversing the terrain in a 4X4 vehicle, your private driver can take you to any number of fascinating highlights of the salt flats. Drive through breathtakingly beautiful landscapes to reach the sub-aquatic Chiquini Cave, which shelters calcified magma and petrified corals. Marvel at mummies and ancient ceramics at the Pukara de Ayque ruins, and visit the giant cacti of Cajchi Island. You can also learn the secrets of salt extraction and wander amongst the wrecked locomotives of Uyuni’s train cemetery. There are a number of colourful volcanic lagoons and hidden islands to explore.

At night, the skies glow with distant planets, dwarf galaxies, and the Milky Way. Learn about the Andean cosmovision, try your hand at astrophotography, and stargaze through telescopes with an expert guide. During the rainy season, the flooded salt flats are transformed into a horizon-bending mirror that reflects the vast dome of the sky. At night you’ll find yourself standing in the centre of a glittering galaxy.
