A huge disappointment
The trip was a huge disappointment as I did not get to visit the places I was most interested to see. While the set itinerary for day 2 was fully respected, the itinerary changed drastically for day 3 and 4 apparently on account of the weather. On day 3, we did not get to see the following: Chiarcota lagoon; Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve; Siloli desert; Stone tree; and Red lagoon. On day 4, we did not visit the Sol de Manana Geysers; the Open Air Hot Springs; the Dali desert, the green and white lagoons. Instead I visited the Black lagoon; the Sora Canyon and San Cristobal. On day 4, we left the hotel at 5 am to go to the Chilean border to visit the volcano, only to be told that I could not cross the border. Instead I had to wait in the cold while the driver and guide went to drop the other 4 guests on the Chili side. This was not very professional as the guide should have known about this. The more disturbing part was that I was with 4 men in my group- 2 brothers and two men who were partners. I was not told that I would have been given a room on my own in any case. I requested a private room and was charged $ 83 which I paid online . The room was freezing cold and did not even have hot water.

5-Day Uyuni Salt Flats & Colored Lagoons from La Paz: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Uyuni.
How much does 5-Day Uyuni Salt Flats & Colored Lagoons from La Paz cost?
+
Prices start at $410 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 5-Day Uyuni Salt Flats & Colored Lagoons 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 Uyuni is not rushed.
Is 5-Day Uyuni Salt Flats & Colored Lagoons from La Paz worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 1 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 5-Day Uyuni Salt Flats & Colored Lagoons 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 5-Day Uyuni Salt Flats & Colored Lagoons 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 5-Day Uyuni Salt Flats & Colored Lagoons from La Paz?
+
Around 0 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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5-Day Uyuni Salt Flats & Colored Lagoons 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 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.
