Local tip for booking

If you’re heading to Uyuni for the salt flats, consider arriving a day earlier in the town of Uyuni itself to avoid rushing your tour start. This gives you time to book or adjust your trip if weather looks tricky. Also, bring warm layers even if it’s the dry season; nights can get bitterly cold in the desert. Booking in person in Uyuni can sometimes snag you better last-minute prices but don’t leave it too late during peak months. In La Paz, using the cable car system is not just a tour but also a cheap way to see different neighbourhoods from above, so combine it with a walk around markets or a café stop in Sopocachi.
