Description

Departing Uyuni city at 3:30 a.m., this tour takes you to a prime location on the Salar de Uyuni for stargazing guided by an expert. Observe constellations and the vast galaxy from the white salt surface.

Afterward, watch the sunrise as the first sunlight reflects on the salt flat’s water layer, creating a mirror effect and vibrant colors on the horizon. This scene offers excellent photo and video opportunities.

Before returning to Uyuni around 7:30 a.m., enjoy an “Instagram Moment” to take unique photos in the expansive salt flats, creating lasting memories of this experience.
