    Rough start, great end!

    It was amazig! At first very slow and boring. He took a lot of time in the city, but once we got to the salt flats everything was great!

    Lamentável

    I slept on the bus and no one called me. I was lost for an hour and a half . Support didn't answer me. I took a taxi to the meeting point and nothing. Another taxi to the bus. I woke up the driver asked for help and nothing. I took another taxi to the bus station. And there I got help thanks to Titichaca Bus . A Cover came to meet me missing 15 minutes to the start of the tour ↓🏻

    Don’t book with them ! Absolutely shocking company

    Disgusting the way the company speaks to you when you finally get a response. See my screen shots for proof. Ticket states 7am at bus station but you have to be there at 21:00 makes no sense. Don’t issue tickets for the wrong times. They ignore your calls. Again see screen shots I have uploaded. I spoke to multiple people including tour guides who stated the 7am ticket is for the salt flats and I should have got the bus the night before. I asked the company this and I got a response of 9pm. So was this for the night before or the date of the trip. Like I said I couldn’t get through to clarify. I tried to find the office from the WhatsApp address but couldn’t. I asked around the locals annd other travel officers and they stated it didn’t exist. I got a response at approx 4pm stating to just get on the bus at 21:30pm. No names were given of who would collect me from the station or information on the bus journey home. I also thought while I am at the bus station ill Check to see if I was actually booked onto the bus. Safe to say I was not I took a picture of the print out of passengers which I have blocked out last names and numbers for confidentiality. I ended up booking with feel Bolivia who have been great. Because I didn’t want to miss out due to this company’s incompetence. Their tour was the same but again so much cheaper and I was met with nothing but kindness from them. This company refused to give a refund despite to even providing the service hence escalating to trip advisor. The salt flats is an absolute must because it’s amazing but please avoid disappointment and go with another operator.

    A place out of this World!

    An amazing place out of this World. A must if you ever visit Bolivia. If you're in La Paz, you must go there and take the night bus to Uyuni. It's worth it.

    Great experience on the flats but failed logistics on the bus transportation

    The experience if the salt flats was wonderful - which was my objective. The logistics to make the happen were unsatisfactory. I arrived at the bus terminal with the instruction to go to 'Uyuni Salt Flats' and a phone number. The company was not there and the phone number didn't work. I tried to contact Viator but it was outside business hours. I then went to 4 different tour agencies and was finally able to get a ticket on 'Omar' which left at 9pm (vs 9:30 as stated on the ticket). Once in Uyuni everything seemed well but it was a different company than Uyuni Salt Flats. The breakfast was good but we then had to wait a couple hours before the tour began. After the tour, and back at the bus terminal in Uyuni, I went to Omar to get my return ticket to La Paz. I wasn't in their system. I was able to eventually book an independent seat with them and made it back to La Paz this morning. The ticket wasn't expensive but it the entire process of transport to and from Uluzi was a failure. I personally believe that 'Omar' just booked me the first ticket thinking it may have been on a mistake on their part or they just wanted to help me out since they had room available. That wasn't the case for the return trip though.

    Uyuni Salt Flats - FULL DAY - La Paz - Uyuni - La Paz: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Uyuni Salt Flats - FULL DAY - La Paz - Uyuni - La Paz cost?

    +

    Prices start at $282 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 Uyuni Salt Flats - FULL DAY - La Paz - Uyuni - La Paz 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 La Paz is not rushed.

    Is Uyuni Salt Flats - FULL DAY - La Paz - Uyuni - La Paz worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 41 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in La Paz, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Uyuni Salt Flats - FULL DAY - La Paz - Uyuni - La Paz?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Uyuni Salt Flats - FULL DAY - La Paz - Uyuni - La Paz 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 - FULL DAY - La Paz - Uyuni - La Paz?

    +

    Around 3 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Uyuni Salt Flats - FULL DAY - La Paz - Uyuni - 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.
