Visit to Playa Blanca, salt museum; the salt eyes, interesting for being the exit points of the subway water of the salt flat; the hexagons of salt, geometric shapes on the surface of the salt flat, piles of salt and we will cross the salt flat to enjoy the beautiful landscapes. Picnic lunch.
We continue with the visit to Incahuasi Island. This island is located in the heart of the salt flat and is the largest of a group of islands that represents an isolated ecosystem. The island is populated by a species of cactus that can reach up to 12 meters high, providing an impressive panorama of the place.
Return to Uyuni and transfer to the bus station or hotel (No guide assistance).
From April to November, dry season, the surface of the salt flat gives the opportunity to play with photographs and perspective. From December to March the entire surface of the Salar is completely covered with water and becomes a giant white mirror where the sky is perfectly reflected, everything seems to be floating in the air. This landscape is a paradise for photography lovers due to the mirror effects that can be captured.
