Description

This is a group excursion to the Uyuni Salt Flats, which includes a fascinating bicycle ride where you will explore this vast white landscape.

The activity starts at 10:30 AM with pickup from your accommodation, bus terminal, or airport in Uyuni. Then you will visit the Train Cemetery, a historic site where old locomotives are located. Later, you will arrive at Colchani, the gateway to the salt flat, where you will learn about the artisanal work with salt and local products. Afterwards, you'll enter the Salar to explore extraction areas and the former Hotel de Sal Playa Blanca, now a museum. Before continuing, you'll enjoy a delicious local lunch. You will also visit Incahuasi Island, known for its huge cacti and panoramic views. Admission to the signposted trail is available for an optional additional fee of approximately 5 USD.
