Great experience on the flats but failed logistics on the bus transportation

Jason_H, Mar 2024

The experience if the salt flats was wonderful - which was my objective. The logistics to make the happen were unsatisfactory. I arrived at the bus terminal with the instruction to go to 'Uyuni Salt Flats' and a phone number. The company was not there and the phone number didn't work. I tried to contact Viator but it was outside business hours. I then went to 4 different tour agencies and was finally able to get a ticket on 'Omar' which left at 9pm (vs 9:30 as stated on the ticket). Once in Uyuni everything seemed well but it was a different company than Uyuni Salt Flats. The breakfast was good but we then had to wait a couple hours before the tour began. After the tour, and back at the bus terminal in Uyuni, I went to Omar to get my return ticket to La Paz. I wasn't in their system. I was able to eventually book an independent seat with them and made it back to La Paz this morning. The ticket wasn't expensive but it the entire process of transport to and from Uluzi was a failure. I personally believe that 'Omar' just booked me the first ticket thinking it may have been on a mistake on their part or they just wanted to help me out since they had room available. That wasn't the case for the return trip though.

Excellent day tour but nobody to meet

Alice_B, Oct 2022

Good: The actual day tour was great, well organised and the guide was very knowledgeable. Bad: As a solo traveler who had booked onto the tour leaving from La Paz, I was very disappointed to find there was nobody to meet at the bus station before the bus left. The details about the tour were given just a few hours before. The information stated that there was a ‘meeting point’ in La Paz bus station, however, there was nobody there to meet. I collected my bus ticket and caught the bus. Again, in Uyuni, there was nobody to meet at the bus stop. I managed to navigate Uyuni to find the office. However, this had no sign outside and when I was inside, the building was given a different tour name of ‘perla de Bolivia’ which was not the tour name I had been provided with. After the day tour, the guides went home and there was no guide to show the way to the bus back to La Paz. Please note: Big improvements required as this product is being sold as an inclusive tour from 9pm in La Paz and only includes a guide from 10am in Uyuni.

Breathtaking place

The Salar is unmissible! Still no words to describe it. The trip was super planned, punctual, organized. And the guide, Lúcio, is a person that its definetelly an honor to know. Super fun and intelligent, a real aymara expert (being an aymara himself). Highly recommended trip!

Lamentável

Thiago_M, Jul 2025

I slept on the bus and no one called me. I was lost for an hour and a half . Support didn't answer me. I took a taxi to the meeting point and nothing. Another taxi to the bus. I woke up the driver asked for help and nothing. I took another taxi to the bus station. And there I got help thanks to Titichaca Bus . A Cover came to meet me missing 15 minutes to the start of the tour ↓🏻
