Airport or Bus Station - La Paz.

Accommodation: The Nest Boutique Hostel or similar. Shared room.
Meals: Not included
Completely free day in La Paz to acclimatize and walk through its streets. La Paz also stands out for being an important cultural center at the Latin American level due to its great cultural diversity; It houses important monuments and sites, such as the Basilica of San Francisco, the Metropolitan Cathedral, Plaza Murillo and Calle Jaรฉn, and also has several museums of great national importance, which is why La Paz is also the cultural capital of Bolivia. The city is also known for its markets, particularly El Mercado de las Brujas, and for its active nightlife. Its rugged topography offers unique views of the city and the Cordillera Real from various natural points of view. La Paz also houses the highest and most extensive cable car in the world.
At 8:45 p.m., you must be at the bus station (transfer isnยดt included) to start the overnight bus trip to Uyuni on a 10-hour trip through the landscape.
Accommodation: Cama Bus from La Paz to Uyuni (10 hours night journey).
Meals: Not included.
You will arrive early at the Uyuni bus station, and you will have time to stretch your legs, we will guide you to our offices and at this time you will have time to have breakfast (not included in any restaurant in the area) you will be able to briefly know the city and be at the meeting point at 10:30 AM. The first stop will be the 'train cemetery' of Uyuni, to see the first locomotives in Bolivia. Then you will visit the small settlement of Colchani (salt mining workshops next to the salt flats). Here, you will see crafts made of salt and textile art made of llama fiber and alpaca.
The tour will continue to the Great Salt Flats of Uyuni, which are located at an altitude of 3650m. Take photos as you navigate the vast expanse of white salt, see Los Ojos de Agua Salada, and then visit a hotel made entirely of salt. This amazing place currently serves as a museum. Make sure you and your group pose for some fun perspective and proportionally distorted photos taken in the context of the striking white surface of the salt flats, and enjoy the unique experience of spending the night in a hostel made up almost exclusively of salt.
Accommodation: Shared room in Hostal de Sal in San Juan or another population depending on availability.
Meals: Not included.
Start the morning at 7:00 am with breakfast, before visiting the Chiguana Desert, located on the south side of the Uyuni salt flats. It is surrounded by volcanoes, such as the Ollague Volcano (5840m), one that is still active and can be seen from the viewpoint.
Next, we will continue along a rocky path, "Pasito Tuntun", to the beautiful Andean lagoons, inhabited by 3 species of Andean flamingos. Marvel at three lagoons along the way: "Caรฑapa" where you will see the first pink flamingos, "Hedionda" where lunch will be served, and "Chiarcota" where you will see a wider variety of birds and highland fauna.
Then we enter the Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve and visit the Siloli Desert, at 4550m (the highest and driest desert in the world). Be sure to take a photo next to the 'Rock Tree', a lava rock formation. Before reaching your final destination for the day, we will stop at the viewpoint next to the Red Lagoon Laguna Colorada, where you can see more pink flamingos in their natural habitat and admire this intense orange lake. Spend the night in a shared family accommodation where there is only electricity for 3 hours a day from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

I ate breakfast early at 5 a.m. (depending on the season) and start the day of the tour with a visit to the Sol de Maรฑana geyser, at 5,000 m. You will walk alongside fumaroles and steaming craters filled with boiling clay pots at 150-200 Cยบ. Continue to the hot springs outdoors and bathe in 35ยบC water. The first place to visit is the Dali desert, where Salvador Dalรญ found inspiration for his work on the rocks scattered in the middle of the desert, He never visited the place, but he was awarded to the famous painter because many of his surreal passages have similarity to this place.
Then you will see the Green Lagoon, toxic copper water at the foot of the great Licancabur volcano, which is located at 6000m, a few kilometers from the border between Bolivia and Chile. Finally, you will return to Uyuni, you will pass beautiful landscapes along the way and you will have a picnic next to the road.
