Once a lifetime experience
Due to its high altitude, it took me a while to decide whether I should take my family to visit Uyuni salt flats because I had some reactions in Tibet. Eventually, I decided to book a 3D/2N tour using Andean Ways. To cut down time spent at high altitude and avoid a return trip to La Paz from Uyuni, I selected an itinerary that would enable us to cross border into Chile at the end of the tour. In my hind view, this was the best itinerary. We flew in from La Paz in the morning and immediately spent one full day on the jaw dropping Uyuni salt flats. Took hundreds of wonderful pictures,had a very romantic lunch on the salt flat, and wine tasting at the sunset. Our tour guide Giovana was so good. She crept on wet salt to design and shoot unforgettable photos for us. You must spend a whole day on Uyuni salt flat. We stayed at Palacio de Sal Hotel, which was probably the best in Uyuni. I strongly suggest anyone to book the best hotels within affordability to make the trip more comfortable. In the 2nd day, we traveled to the train ruins, valley of the rocks etc. Emus were spotted along the road. The flamingo lake in Siloli desert at above 4000 meters was very very astonishing. Hundreds of flamingos were seen. Tayka del Desierto was the only hotel available. Don’t expect much. Since there was no other place nearby in the desert, I was so lucky to book a room with private bath at 4600 meters altitude. Heat and electricity were cut off at midnight. It was the most difficult night. Next morning was our last day in Bolivia. On our way to Laguna Colorada, we fed rabbit like vizcacha along the road. Before going to Chilean border, we enjoyed a 30 min bath in Polques Hot springs. You must bring swimming wears with you. This was a rare experience should not be missed. Finally, Chilean border can be closed at any time due to unpredictable reasons. Please be patient. We waited for 3 hours to clear through the custom.

Every dollar is worth it on this unforgettable memory of life
I have spent huge amount of time to plan for this trip since 8 months ago because I knew some of us would have altitude sickness and also limited time to enjoy the wonderful scenes. Finally, I booked a 3 Days 2 Nights private trip through Andean Ways. The tour guide was Giovana (+59163714710). I decided to increase elevation gradually through Mexico City, Bogota, La Paz, and finally Uyuni. I didn’t take overnight bus from La Paz to Uyuni because I felt it would be an additional night of torture and waste on road. We flew in from La Paz to Uyuni in the morning and welcomed by Giovana at the airport. She prepared rubber boots for us which were found to be critical for walking in salt water. The Uyuni salt flats were jaw dropping. More fascinating than any picture can show. But Giovana was so patient in taking pictures for us. Many times, she creeped on wet salt to get a great shot. I picked the Palacio de Sal for the 1st night. Staying in the best available hotel is critical because it will give you the comfort in case you have altitude sickness although the food won’t meet your expectations in big cities. The next day we visited many places near Chilean border at >4200 meters elevation and stayed at Tayka Hotel at 4600 meters level. We all had some mild altitude sickness. But we paid for private room with bath, which gave us minimum comfort at the difficult night. Food quality was not that good and heater was cold after 3 am. But I guess it was already the best the hotel could do because that was in the middle of nowhere. If you want to see the beautiful Laguna Colorada and play with vizcacha (a kind of special rabbits), or want to cross border into Chile, it seems there is no other choice of better hotels. Finally crossing border into Chile the day after is very difficult with unpredictable border closing. We waited more than 3 hours at the border. But I felt that if I had seen the beautiful Bolivian side, the San Pedro de Acatama side could be skipped. So our car took us from Chilean border to Calama Airport directly. Generally speaking, if you don’t want to ride on a bus overnight from La Paz to Uyuni, you have to take flight and stay at Uyuni over night. Day trip is not possible. Therefore, I still suggest a 3D/2N trip to cross border into Chile. Then you have plenty of flights to Santiago and relax in this beautiful city.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Uyuni Salt Flats - 3 Days / 2 Nights - English Speaking Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Uyuni.
How much does Uyuni Salt Flats - 3 Days / 2 Nights - English Speaking Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $381 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 Uyuni Salt Flats - 3 Days / 2 Nights - English Speaking Guide 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 Uyuni Salt Flats - 3 Days / 2 Nights - English Speaking Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Uyuni Salt Flats - 3 Days / 2 Nights - English Speaking Guide?
+
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 Uyuni Salt Flats - 3 Days / 2 Nights - English Speaking Guide 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 Uyuni Salt Flats - 3 Days / 2 Nights - English Speaking Guide?
+
Around 1 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 Uyuni Salt Flats - 3 Days / 2 Nights - English Speaking Guide 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.
