Uyuni salt marsh. A giant natural mirror.
Description:
This time we will go to Bolivia to visit the largest salt marsh in the world - Uyuni. Its area is about 10,000 square kilometers. We offer excursions for one day, if you do not have enough time, and for three days to enjoy the nature of Bolivia.
What we're attending:
- Lagoon Verde (Green);
- Lagoon Blanca (White);
- Colorado Lagoon (Red), where the largest colony of flamingo James is located;
- stone forest (arbol de piedra);
- alpine lagoons;
- Sol de la mañana geyser, thermal springs
- Incahuasi island with giant cacti (visit when the salt marsh is almost dry!!).
During the trip, we will spend the night in a salt hotel, visit the salt museum, see many llamas and alpacas, take a short walk to the foot of the volcano Tunupa, from where a stunning view of the Uyuni salt marsh opens. In January and February, Uyuni usually turns into a large mirror after the rains. You can only see it here!
On the salt marsh Uyuni as an accompanying and interpreter I go. If you don't need an interpreter, come with my verified Bolivian driver. Since the tour takes place at a height, the driver has everything necessary for first aid, as well as an oxygen tank (in extreme cases). I organize a trip from both Bolivia and Chile (San Pedro de Atacama) with the end point in Bolivia or Chile. If you are going to Bolivia, you should keep in mind that it is the most backward country in South America. Specifically, on a trip to Uyuni you will not find five-star hotels and chic service. The roads in general in Bolivia are not in very good condition, and there is no road to the Uyuni salt marsh. But this country has preserved many interesting traditions.
