    The Best Travel Experience We’ve Ever Had / La Mejor Experiencia de Viaje que Hemos Tenido

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AGENCY! My boyfriend (now fiancé) and I had Lily as our tour guide and Eloy as our driver. In summary, this was one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had among all the trips we’ve done (we love traveling and have visited 30+ countries). This was especially impressive given the challenging environment (high altitude, no signal, and no clear paths on the salt flats). Lily is incredibly thoughtful and knowledgeable. She knows everything and was able to answer all the questions I had. She made sure we felt comfortable throughout the entire trip. Even when a few unexpected situations happened — and when we took longer to take photos or fly our drone — she remained flexible and made sure we experienced everything without rushing us. We were still able to have lunch and dinner at reasonable times. (She also has great taste in music!) Eloy is an amazing driver. I noticed that we were often running behind schedule — either because we spent extra time on the salt flats since my boyfriend proposed during the trip, or because the next day we stopped for many photos and then had a flat tire. But he always managed to drive efficiently and safely to keep us on schedule, and we still felt completely comfortable even on the off-road sections. Both of them did everything they could to make sure we had the best three days possible. There is no doubt that during those three days, I felt blessed, safe, comfortable, and amazed by everything in Bolivia. Lastly, thank you to the entire Mundicontact team! The proposal setup was such an incredible surprise, and I truly appreciate how you adjusted the plan and stayed flexible just to make sure I had the best views and experience. I would definitely come back to the salt flats and reach out to you again! Bolivia will always have a place in my heart, and it’s all thanks to all of you. RECOMIENDO MUCHÍSIMO ESTA AGENCIA!! Mi novio (ahora prometido) y yo tuvimos a Lily como nuestra guía y a Eloy como nuestro conductor. En resumen, esta ha sido una de las mejores experiencias que hemos tenido entre todos los viajes que hemos hecho (nos encanta viajar y hemos estado en más de 30 países). Y esto fue especialmente impresionante considerando lo desafiante del entorno: gran altitud, sin señal y sin caminos claros en el salar. Lily es increíblemente atenta y muy conocedora. Sabe de todo y pudo responder todas las preguntas que tenía. Se aseguró de que estuviéramos cómodos durante todo el recorrido. Aunque surgieron algunas situaciones inesperadas, y nosotros tardábamos más tomando fotos o volando el dron, ella fue muy flexible y se las arregló para que pudiéramos vivir todas las experiencias sin apresurarnos. Aun así, pudimos almorzar y cenar a horarios razonables. (Además, tiene un excelente gusto musical). Eloy es un conductor excepcional. Me di cuenta de que todos los días nos atrasábamos un poco, ya fuera porque pasamos mucho tiempo en el salar —mi novio me propuso matrimonio durante el viaje— o porque al día siguiente nos detuvimos a tomar más fotos y luego tuvimos una llanta pinchada. Pero él siempre logró conducir lo suficientemente rápido para recuperar el tiempo, y aun así nos sentimos muy seguros y cómodos incluso fuera del camino. Ellos hicieron todo lo posible para que viviéramos los mejores tres días, y no tengo ninguna duda de que durante esos tres días me sentí bendecida, segura, cómoda y maravillada con todo lo que ofrece Bolivia. Por último, gracias a todo el equipo de Mundicontact. La preparación para la propuesta fue una sorpresa increíble, y agradezco mucho cómo cambiaron el plan y fueron tan flexibles solo para asegurarse de que tuviera la mejor vista y la mejor experiencia. Sin duda volveré al salar y volveré a contactarlos. ¡Bolivia siempre tendrá un lugar en mi corazón, y todo es gracias a ustedes!

    The scenery on this trip is breathtakingly beautiful. Driver/guide Sandro Dominguez was fantastic even with our language difficulties.

    Extraordinary journey with wonderful landscapes

    We did 3-day private tour from San Pedro to Uyuni. The landscapes are a must-see in your lifetime—geysers, lagoons, deserts, and salt flats stretch endlessly and appear surreal. Your camera won't stop clicking. The trip reaches altitudes of over 3000 meters, so it's not for everyone. However, Mundicontact Expeditions took excellent care of us in this harsh environment. Our guide Lily has extensive knowledge of the geography, and our driver Christopher (sorry I am not sure the spelling) is highly skilled. Not many can navigate the desert and the salt flat without GPS, but he not only can do it but also keep all people safe. Everything was well-arranged; we even had hot water for shower and enjoyed warm meals at altitudes exceeding 4000 meters. Mundicontact Expeditions ensured our comfort and guided us through potential challenges foreigners might face, starting from before the journey began. I highly recommend their team.

    Excellent tour with very accomplished guide and driver

    We did a 4 day/3 nights tour from San Pedro de Atacama in Chile to the Uyuni salt flat. We had Poli who’s a very experienced driver and we felt very safe and Victor our English speaking guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the areas we visited as well as the Bolivian culture. We learned a lot ! We saw some amazing sights and both were happy to stop as much as we wanted as my husband likes to take photos. Nothing was too much trouble. They were both very courteous and good fun .Thanks for the great photos you took Victor especially on the Salt flat ! It was all very well organised and never felt rushed . We had some delicious lunches in good places . The hotels were well situated and good. A very well organised tour and would definitely recommend this team . Cannot find any faults .

    Amazing !

    We took a 3-day/2-night tour from San Pedro de Atacama to Uyuni, with Mundicontact, booking via Ruta Verde Tours. Our guide and driver was Zodrigo. Everything went very well. Zodrigo was always very attentive to our needs. The tour was by car, and at each viewpoint Zodrigo stopped so that we had time to enjoy and take photos, and he was always available to help us take photos too. Meals were included and the food was very good, they take dietary restrictions into account. We had a health problem, Zodrigo did everything to find us a health center to see a doctor even though we were in very remote areas. Thank you for everything!

    3-Days Private Tour Salar de Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama Chile with Pickup: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 3-Days Private Tour Salar de Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama Chile with Pickup cost?

    +

    Prices start at $3,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Uyuni 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 Private Tour Salar de Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama Chile with Pickup take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 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 Uyuni is not rushed.

    Is 3-Days Private Tour Salar de Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama Chile with Pickup worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Uyuni, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Days Private Tour Salar de Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama Chile with Pickup?

    +

    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 Private Tour Salar de Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama Chile with Pickup suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3-Days Private Tour Salar de Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama Chile with Pickup?

    +

    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 Uyuni 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 Uyuni and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3-Days Private Tour Salar de Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama Chile with Pickup 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 Uyuni 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 Uyuni?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Uyuni experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3-Days Tour to the Uyuni Salt Flat and Colored Lagoons +Sunset+Mirror Effect, Uyuni Salt Flat 1 Day Tour +Sunset in the Salt Water Region with Mirror Effect, 3-Day Salt Tour of Uyuni with Sunset and Lagoons Colorada. 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 Uyuni?

    +

    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 Uyuni?

    +

    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.
