4 Days Uyuni Salt Flat and Eduardo Avaroa Andean Reserve in Dry Season

4 days / 3 nights Moderate

Description

The Uyuni Salt Flat, the largest on Earth, is a must. On Incahuasi Island, in the middle of the flat, you feel surrounded by a white ocean. In the dry season the classic salt crust emerges with its halite polygons; the rainy-season mirror effect (January–March) belongs to the other variant. Beyond geology, this area was settled thousands of years ago by the Tiwanaku people —from Lake Titicaca— and centuries later by the Incas, and archaeological sites still remain. All-inclusive: a private 4WD expedition starting and ending in San Pedro de Atacama, with a local guide, all meals and three nights of lodging.
