After breakfast, set out on a full-day exploration of the Uyuni Salt Flats, one of the most extraordinary natural wonders on Earth.

Your first stop is the Train Cemetery, a haunting and photogenic site that tells the story of Bolivia’s railway past. Continue to Colchani Village, where local artisans produce handmade salt crafts using traditional techniques.

Enter the dazzling expanse of the Salar de Uyuni, where endless white landscapes stretch to the horizon. Visit the saltwater eyes, natural springs bubbling up through the crust, and continue to Incahuasi Island, famous for its towering giant cacti and panoramic 360° views of the salt flats.

Enjoy a traditional Apthapi lunch, an authentic Andean communal meal, served in the heart of the salt desert. In the afternoon, have fun capturing creative perspective photos that Uyuni is famous for.

As the day comes to an end, toast the experience with wine and snacks while watching the sunset paint the salt flats in golden hues or, during the rainy season, witness the magical mirror effect that reflects the sky like a giant natural mirror.
