    Thanks to everyone for making this fantastic trip

    It was a truly wonderful trip. Our guides and drivers, Miguel Angel and Michael Douglas, from SALTY AND DESERT, led eleven tourists from different countries on this adventure. Miguel Angel, in particular, was outstanding; his dedication, responsibility, and professionalism made for a fantastic experience. Furthermore, Joker Expedition helped the bus service between La Paz and Uyuni, including hotel pick-up and drop-off, and the hotel arrangements, were exceptionally professional and thorough. Appreciate for all from deep our hearts!

    Lack of communication

    Communication with Joker Expedition was none existing. We tried reaching out to them numerous times but all answers were given either as “yes “ or “no” even though our questions were not simple yes or no questions. E.g we asked if they had a packing list and how we could expect the hostels to be at night, and the only answer to this was “yes”. We tried reaching out in Spanish instead with more questions, but we never received an answer. This lack of communication continued throughout our trip. We were picked up from the hotel from a Joker Expedition employee who made sure that we arrived in the bus station in La Paz. On the information page it states that the bus leaves La Paz at 20:30 but it actually leaves at 21:30. Also, they said that we would get dinner onboard of the bus, but this turned out only to be a water and a small packet of crackers. Had we known this, we would have gotten dinner beforehand so we wouldn’t go to sleep hungry! When we arrived in Uyuni we were picked up by a person and driven to a hotel to be checked in for a couple of hours. This information was not provided anywhere, which is weird since it is nice to get a hot shower and breakfast. And none of the drivers we met spoke English, so no one could inform us where they were taking us and what the next step was. Furthermore, on the information page it says to bring 200 BOBS per person. However, when we got picked up by our tour guide and were on the way to the salt flats, he told us that we needed to bring at least 300 BOBS per person since toilets were not free. None of places we went to took credit cards and there were no ATMs at any of our stops. We were also informed on the first day that the second night was going to be cold, and that you are able to rent a sleeping bag which cost 50 BOBS per person. This could only be paid in cash, but since we were misinformed about the amount to bring, we didn’t have enough money to rent sleeping bags. They also said that we could pay for the sleeping bags at the second stop, which everyone on the tour understood as the second place where we are going to sleep at, but it was the second stop the first day (I don’t know if that really helps, because there is no time to go to an ATM). In addition to this, the second place we stayed at didn’t have enough food for dinner either, so we ended going to bed hungry. With that said, the tour is fantastic and you get to see a lot of different beautiful sights, but we would not recommend booking through Joker Expedition since the none existing communication meant that we weren’t able to fully enjoy our trip.

    Incredible Bolivia Adventure

    We recently completed a 4-day tour with JOKER EXPEDITIONS, and overall, they met our expectations with a well-organized and seamless experience. Day 1 included a guided city tour of La Paz, which was a great introduction to the city's culture and history. The guide was informative, and we enjoyed exploring the highlights. Days 2-4 took us through the breathtaking Uyuni Salt Flats, stunning lagoons, and the National Park, covering all the must-see sights. While the itinerary itself was fantastic, what truly made this trip exceptional was our guide, Julia. She and her driver went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience—whether it was finding the perfect scenic vantages, helping us capture creative and unforgettable photos, or sharing insightful knowledge about the region. Julia’s enthusiasm and expertise turned an already amazing trip into something truly special. If you're booking with JOKER EXPEDITIONS, I highly recommend requesting Julia as your guide. She made all the difference in making this a memorable adventure. I would absolutely recommend Joker Expeditions to anyone visiting Bolivia.

    Once in a lifetime experience

    We booked this tour via Jokers Expedition which is then conducted by Salty Desert Adventures. The pre -post support provided by Jokers Expedition was excellent. This covers transfers to/from hotel to bus station n hotel room in Uyuni to shower on arrival/departure from Uyuni town to the Salt Flats. Our tour of the Uyuni Salt Flats was led by Ezequiel. He was a good coordinator n very knowledgeable of the terrain, flora & fauna, animals n birds and tried his best to a large group of 16 tourists spread over 4 vehicles. Our driver Jose is also excellent- very safe n tried with his limited English to highlight certain key features of the terrain. His music selection in the vehicle was upbeat n enjoyable. Key highlights of the trip was the photo taking sessions, surprise wine n snacks stop to see the sun set n getting close to the animals that lived in the flats. Food is kept simple but sufficient. Depending on the package, accommodation ranges from sleeping bags, shared bedroom/bath/toilets or private rooms with en-suite. The package from Jokers Expeditions came with private en-suite rooms. Be prepared for long drives, limited toilets facilities and varying weather between hot to windy chilly conditions. Our guide always ensured we r briefed on this the night before so u can prepare ahead. Overall a once in lifetime experience that one should not missed. We made new friends in the same vehicle we traveled in which is also great.

    3 Days 2 Nights Uyuni Salt Flats by Bus from La Paz: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Paz.

    How much does 3 Days 2 Nights Uyuni Salt Flats by Bus from La Paz cost?

    +

    Prices start at $998 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Paz usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3 Days 2 Nights Uyuni Salt Flats by Bus from La Paz take?

    +

    Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Paz is not rushed.

    Is 3 Days 2 Nights Uyuni Salt Flats by Bus from La Paz worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Paz, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Days 2 Nights Uyuni Salt Flats by Bus from La Paz?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 3 Days 2 Nights Uyuni Salt Flats by Bus from La Paz suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3 Days 2 Nights Uyuni Salt Flats by Bus from La Paz?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Paz can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Paz and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 Days 2 Nights Uyuni Salt Flats by Bus from La Paz start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Paz within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in La Paz?

    +

    On Outty we rank every La Paz experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The World's Most Dangerous Road - Barracuda Biking's Death Road Riding, Death Road Biking Tour, Death Road, Bolivia: Mountain Bike Tour on the World's Most Dangerous Road. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit La Paz?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in La Paz?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 3 Days 2 Nights Uyuni Salt Flats by Bus from La Paz?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Bus ticket La Paz- Uyuni - La Paz; Professional Bilingüal Guide; and Food and drinks (B= breakfast, L= lunch , D= dinner). Not included: Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
