    Salar de Uyuni, very complete day.

    We spent the entire day in the salt flat. The guide (Alejandro) and the driver (David) were in charge of getting to all the places on time. They ordered homemade food and also vegetarian food for two of the girls who were on the tour (it was homemade food and they prepared it for us as a picnic). He explained a lot to us throughout the day. They stopped for photos too and were super friendly with all the requests we made. A day out of 10!

    Salt Flats full day

    Did the Uyuni salt flats full day. The guide took us to some beautiful places but he did not explain very much about the surroundings. We ordered vegetarian food (which was no problem according to the booking agent) but we received no substitute for meat. According to the itinerary the tour was supposed to end at 6 pm, we informed the guide continually that our night bus back to La Paz should leave at 8 pm and he promised that we would be back in time. We got dropped of 3 blocks from the bus and had to run to be able to catch in. The driver spoke no English and had not received any information about our bus from the guide.

    Great tour, but communication could have been better

    We went on the full day tour to the salt flats. The tour itself was great - our guide spoke good English and clearly knew the flats well, and seemed willing to go further out to the flats than a lot of other cars to find water and to get perspective shots. I travelled with my wife and we're both vegetarian, and food wasn't a problem - both veg and non-veg options were provided for everyone in our tour group. We weren't quite able to make it to the island further out because it was too wet (it had rained for a few days before we got to Uyuni), but we still had an amazing experience - the sunset with wine was great too. Our main issues were with communication and a close call getting our bus back to La Paz. We'd booked this tour after getting confirmation that we would be back before 8pm, when our bus back to La Paz was scheduled to leave. Our ticket said that the tour would finish by 6-6:30, but because of the sunset we only left the salt flats a bit after 7pm, and only got back to Uyuni just before 8 (we got dropped off at the bus stop right before the bus was due to leave). Our driver was aware of the bus time and it all worked out OK, but it was a bit close! Our ticket also had the tour starting around 10am for pickups, but we didn't end up leaving until shortly before 11 (without much explanation as to why). Overall, we had a good experience on this tour - just be really clear if you need to get back by a certain time!

    Disappointing and over priced

    We found the tour on find local trips which I thought was a trusted local website. The tour was completely over priced. We paid 70 dollar and were willing to pay extra because we thought we would recieve a good service. People who joined the tour on the day paid less than half the price which was very frustrating to find out. We spent most of the time in markets with little to no information. The food was the worst meal I had in 5 months in South America it was actually inedible and we were all starving. I contacted the company about my concerns and received no reply. There is definelty cheaper tours that provide and equal and more than likely better service!

    Uyuni Salt Flats Full Day with Bus Uyuni to La Paz: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Uyuni Salt Flats Full Day with Bus Uyuni to La Paz cost?

    +

    Prices start at $249 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 Full Day with Bus Uyuni to La Paz take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 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 Full Day with Bus Uyuni to 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 (3.7/5 across 6 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 Full Day with Bus Uyuni to 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 Uyuni Salt Flats Full Day with Bus Uyuni to La Paz suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Uyuni Salt Flats Full Day with Bus Uyuni to La Paz?

    +

    Around 2 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Uyuni Salt Flats Full Day with Bus Uyuni to 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.
