    It's an amazing...

    It's an amazing experience, it's exactly how they've described it. Bring warm clothes and be prepared for temperatures -10. Take time to acclimate to the heights before this tour, as you sleep on 4700m. The views are amazing and our driver Henry was amazing! He drives safe, gives us plenty of information about the landscape and culture. He had an answer to every question about the area we asked, so don't be hesitant to ask questions during the tour.

    Great 3 day tour with Diego

    Great experience on the 3 day tour. Diego was a great tour guide. It was actually the stuff after the salt flats that we really enjoyed more as there is a 1 day and a 3 day option so for first day you are taken to highly touristic places which is abit crowded. After that it splits and it feels like you can wnjoy the stops abit more. We are not fussy on food so no complaints there. If your a foodie you may have some thoughts about the food 😅. One of our group was veggie and was given omelette for lunch and dinner every meal but I dont think they minded either. Ultimately its not easy to cook in the places you stay so totally understand. The accomodation is decent. Again we are not fussy at all so no complaints. Second hotel as reviews mention is not fancy. Our room had running water for 10 minutes or so but there were other toilets/showers to use when that happened. To focus on the best parts, its well organised and the stops are paced at good intervals and you get to see the sunsets. Diego was always happy to take pictures etc. The views are genuinely amazing and you do get to see some really cool stuff. The flamingos are really cool to see. There are tonnes of them. The vizcachas are sweet. The mountains are awesome and it'd quite nice to get into the sticks if you've come from a city. Drivers are top notch, cars are comfortable. I wouldnt worry too much about being in the car with the guide as we thought about before. Overall we recommend this tour.

    Many stops to see the sights!

    A wonderful experience overall. The trip was organised well, having many stops along the way, seeing the salt flats, volcanoes, lagoons, flamingos, vicuñas & viscachas. Our guide Jose was top notch in explaining everything, making us feel welcomed & answering any questions we had. Our driver was just as welcoming even though he had limited English. The only issues we had were transferring to Chile at the end of the trip as the border was not open when we were there. Although this was not the fault of the tour company, our drivers stayed with us the whole time & made sure we got across whilst also exploring alternative options. The tour was great & we were well looked after the whole time, I'd highly recommend!

    Amazing trip

    Amazing experience! We saw a lot of amazing places during the 3 day tour. The flamingo’s and laguna’s were something I new saw before. We were informed properly and timely of the gasoline situation in Bolivia. Guide Juan gave very good explanations and driver Ruben was very experienced.

    Some of what is advertised on the itinerary doesn’t happen!!

    There was no visit to the Isla Incahusi which was a great shame!!!! No explanation given other than it’s on the other side of the Salar and we’re not going there! The dinner on the first night was a takeaway from a fast food shop near the hostel and it was a greasy piece of chicken with stodgy rice and fries! There was no visit to the laguna negra either!

    3-Days Tour to the Uyuni Salt Flat and Colored Lagoons +Sunset+Mirror Effect: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 3-Days Tour to the Uyuni Salt Flat and Colored Lagoons +Sunset+Mirror Effect cost?

    +

    Prices start at $290 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 Tour to the Uyuni Salt Flat and Colored Lagoons +Sunset+Mirror Effect 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 Tour to the Uyuni Salt Flat and Colored Lagoons +Sunset+Mirror Effect worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 869 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Uyuni, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Days Tour to the Uyuni Salt Flat and Colored Lagoons +Sunset+Mirror Effect?

    +

    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 Tour to the Uyuni Salt Flat and Colored Lagoons +Sunset+Mirror Effect 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 Tour to the Uyuni Salt Flat and Colored Lagoons +Sunset+Mirror Effect?

    +

    Around 304 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 Tour to the Uyuni Salt Flat and Colored Lagoons +Sunset+Mirror Effect 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 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, 3 Days Tour Uyuni Salt Flats, Sunset plus Funny Photos. 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.

    What is included in 3-Days Tour to the Uyuni Salt Flat and Colored Lagoons +Sunset+Mirror Effect?

    +
