ITINERARY

You will depart from San Pedro de Atacama around 6-7am and travel to the border. I takes just 1 hour, but you need to wait in the chilean migration office around 1-1.5 hours more. Around 09:30 you will arrive to Bolivia and we will start our tour. We will start visiting Laguna Blanca and Laguna Verde. Then we will drive for around 40 minutes and visit Desierto de Dalí. Close to midday, we will arrive to Polques, the hot springs, where you can swim while we prepare the lunch. Around 13:00 we will drive for 30 minutes to arrive to Geysers Sol de Mañana, this is the highest point of all the circuit, 5000 m.a.s.l. approximately. After visiting this amazing place, we will go to Laguna colorada and stay there for around. 1hour. We will spend the night in Huayllajara.

After the breakfast, we will go to the Stone Tree , Desierto del Siloli, then we will continue visiting the andean lagoons, where you will see a lot of flamingos, Ollague Volcano (semi-­‐active). After that we will visit some towns like San Agustín and Julaca  in order to arrive to Villa Candelaria to stay there. This night you will stay in a basic salt accommodation.

Today we will cross the immense Salar de Uyuni (3650 m.a.s.l.) early in the morning to see the Sunrise in the Uyuni Salt Flat. With 12,000 km2, the Salar de Uyuni is the largest salt plain in the world, stretching away in all directions as far as the eye can see. From here you can see volcano Tunupa impressively overhanging. The salt flats are made up of 11 separate layers with a thickness that ranges from 2 to 10m. The depth of salt is 120 meters and with that it is the biggest reserve of minerals such as lithium, magnesium, potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus and borax in the world. It has 14 small islands, the most important is the Incahuasi Island. Around the island, you can see Ojos de Agua, these are springs which act as pores for the salt flats. Leaving the salt bed, we will visit Colchani, the village where the salt is processed. Here there are various salt souvenirs and alpaca or llama wool clothes. Finally, we will go to see Cementerio de Trenes, where you will see a lot of ancient trains. Then we will go the central part of the city to finish the tour around 1-2pm.

Note: At 3 pm, we will take a transfer (run by other company) that will drive you to Villamar. Arriving around 7pm to this small town.

After the breakfast, we will go to the border, where you will take a shared bus to San Pedro at 9am, arriving there at 11am (Chilean Timen).
