The beautiful Uyuni salt flats are the world’s largest salt flat. It is located in the Department of Potosi in Southwest Bolivia at 3.650 meters above sea level. Isla del Pescado (Fish Island), which is located on the salt flat, is full of giant cactuses and named this way as the ´island´ has the shape of a fish. It is the only sign of life for miles. Laguna Verde, Laguna Colorada and the hot springs can also be visited during this tour. Laguna Verde is a beautiful green colored lake close to the Chilean border at the foot of the Licancabur volcano. Its color is caused by sediments, containing copper minerals. Laguna Colorada is a red colored lake, also because of the presence of minerals. The lagoons together with the flamingos create a very unique scene of spectacular beauty! Experience the wonderful Uyuni Salt Flats as you travel by air from La Paz. You can marvel at and explore in detail this fascinating terrain, accompanied by an English-speaking guide for this journey

We start the day by picking you up from your accommodation around 8:15 a.m., heading to the valleys near Sucre. We visit the Río Chico area, known for supplying fruits and vegetables to Sucre. The region is primarily inhabited by Quechua indigenous communities. We travel by vehicle through several communities for about an hour. These communities maintain a strong cultural identity through the Quechua language and communal farming practices. We stop to shop for any necessary items. Next, we take an easy walk to the Monte Villca Park entrance. Here, a local guide explains the history, customs, and the natural and cultural richness of the park, which protects native forests, Andean wildlife, and ancient Quechua routes. Monte Villca is an ecological reserve in the Andes foothills, home to species like the red-fronted macaw and Andean fox. It helps conserve biodiversity and the cultural heritage. After a 4-hour hike, we enjoy views, observe birds, and relax at recreational haciendas.
