Across the salt crust that extends over 10,000 square kilometers you can witness the mesmerizing and eternal white surface surrounded by regal mountains fading in the distance. Pass through pyramidal salt mounds, ground-gaping eyes (lagoons) and perspective-bending horizons. A visit to an island in the middle of the salt flat provides an absolutely magnificent panoramic view as you explore its trails lined with 1,000 year old cacti. Here on the island you will rest and enjoy a delicious lunch of local specialties. Head back onto the salt surface to further deepen your experience and enjoy the changing horizon as the light shifts before returning to your hotel in Uyuni at the end of the day. (Duration 7 hours, to begin directly after your arrival in Uyuni. Private Activity. Lunch Included).

3 Days Potosí – Sucre from Uyuni
Departing Uyuni with private guide and driver, travel across the altiplano towards one of the highest cities in the world, Potosí, which is literally translated as ‘fortune’. A natural treasure chest that once funded the Spanish colonists, Potosí holds ‘Cerro Rico’ (the rich mountain) formerly brimming with extensive silver mines. Your first day you will travel at a leisurely pace making stops along the way and have the afternoon to rest and enjoy your accommodations at a lovely hacienda in the surrounds of Potosi. The following day enjoy a tour of the mine and the city which is a living witness of South American history and contains colonial relics as well as numerous churches. The following morning visit the UNESCO World Heritage ‘Casa de la Moneda’ where the national mint was once made before continuing onwards to Sucre. Should your visit fall on a Sunday, you can stop at the colourful Tarabuco market en route to Sucre to view the indigenous textiles and handicrafts traded in the same way as centuries ago.
