Magical Moment

My experience in Uyuni was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, everything was well organized, and the breathtaking landscapes exceeded all my expectations. The salt flats, colorful lagoons, unique rock formations, stunning sunset, and the wildlife that we saw roaming freely made every moment feel magical. Our driver/guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. He was also skilled, the accommodations were better than expected, and the overall service was excellent. If you’re considering visiting Uyuni, I highly recommend this tour—it’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I’ll never forget!

Incredible experience!

The stay went wonderfully! We were amazed! Fantastic discovery of the Uyuni region. Experience requiring a minimum level of physical condition nonetheless! Thank you to Rachelle for her explanations and kindness! And to driver Berni for his joy of living!

Wonderful Memories from Uyuni – Thank You, Behimar!

We had an amazing experience. A special thank you to our guide, Behimar, who made this trip truly unforgettable. Behimar is an excellent guide – patient, calm, professional, and very experienced. He managed the time perfectly, balancing explanations, photo stops, and free time. Whenever someone wanted to stop for pictures, it was never a problem. He organized the group very well, drove safely, and was always happy to answer questions. Most importantly, he genuinely cared about the participants and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the tour. The tour was exactly as described. Depending on the weather conditions and the group, the guide adjusted the schedule when necessary, which made the experience even better. One thing we really appreciated was the possibility of starting the tour on the day of our arrival. Communication with the tour operator was excellent from the beginning. Even though our flight was delayed, they managed everything smoothly and we were still able to see all the planned attractions. Before the tour, the operator clearly explained the conditions we would encounter during the trip. Sleeping bags were available for rent, as advertised, and internet access could also be purchased at the accommodations during the overnight stays. Another great advantage is that the tour can finish on the Chilean side, making it a perfect option for travelers continuing their journey to San Pedro de Atacama. This made our travel plans much more convenient and saved us valuable time. Thank you, Behimar, for the wonderful memories and for making this trip so enjoyable.

Great tour! Best Salar tour company in Uyuni!

Tour was great! We saw all the main attractions within the Salar and the desert. Raquel was excellent! She spoke good English and was very informative. She kept notion of the time to give us enough time to enjoy at each place while making sure we didn’t miss anything! The driver Blast was also fantastic! He was very cautious driving over challenging terrain and at the same time drove at a good speed so we didn’t miss anything. The salt hotels were clean and nice. Each one of us had a private room with private bathroom. Bathrooms had hot water for shower. The food was very good and they had really good vegetarian option! The hotels didn’t have heaters so I recommend getting the sleeping bag because it can get really cold at night. We also went star gazing at night, which was magical. At the second hotel, there was a bar with pool table, ping pong and other games. The bar owner let us choose our own music. It was a lot of fun! Overall, I recommend this company 100%!

An amazing few days. we...

An amazing few days. we had a wonderful tour guide Val and our driver Bernie both were a perfect team. We never felt rushed, saw SO much and they both made the experience for us. I was worried abit about accommodation after seeing some of the reviews but can say both hotels were clean and had hot showers!! the food was great (I’m veggie/vegan and didn’t have to worry once) and as a solo traveller I was also abit worried about being left out or third-wheeling with other couples and groups but out of the 5 of us the company did a good job at putting us together with 3 solo travellers and 2 guys travelling together. We had a great dynamic and I was genuinely sad to leave at the end. All in all it was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend booking with this company. I feel like there’s so much out there to choose from but I definitely appreciated the security of having pre-booked online, and I’m really pleased with the company I chose to book with!

3 days/ 2 night tour from Uyuni and the salt flats to Atacama

We did the 3 day/ 2 night trip from Uyuni to the Chile border. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish, and was made special by our very caring and capable guide , Raquel, who was knowledgeable with a great sense of fun. The vehicle was in good order and we were in the skilled hands of our driver Oscar, which is important as the roads can be rough at times. There were 7 people in the vehicle including the guide and driver, and you wouldn’t want to have any more, but we switched places frequently and fell into an easy companionship with the group. We were in awe of the beauty of the salt flats and the magnificent and diverse landscapes, ranging from flamingos in lagoons to geysers and smoking volcanoes. The accommodation was simple but comfortable, with our own private bathroom, and good meals. As we were travelling on to San Pedro de Atacama we paid a small additional fee to be met at the Chilean side by an agent who facilitated our border crossing and transferred us to San Pedro. Because of the unrest in Bolivia we had to make some changes to our itinerary, but we are very grateful we could fly into Uyuni and enjoy this wonderful experience.

Book elsewhere, much better companies doing the same route...

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY, many other tour companies which provide the same route with better tour guides, facilities, and overall better experience for a better price. It often felt as though the guide did not want to be there. There was very little explanation provided at the various sites, and we found ourselves listening to guides from other groups to understand what we were seeing. In addition, he appeared frustrated when asked questions by members of the group. This had a significant negative impact on our overall experience. Both breakfast and dinner portions were insufficient for the size of the group. Furthermore, we did not receive lunch on the final day, despite paying the same price as others. Given the very early and minimal breakfast at 4:30am, a packed lunch should have been provided considering we didn't arrive back until later in the evening. They do not respond to any email's after you have paid...

Overwhelmingly beautiful and impressive with great execution! Worth every dollar!

Our 3-day tour with Andes Salt Expeditions (out of Uyuni and ending in San Pedro de Atacama) was the biggest highlight of our month-long, highlight-filled Latin America trip! From the communications upfront to the execution and logistics of the tour itself, it exceeded all our already very high expectations! Guide Diego and his team were fantastic - helpful, safe, professional, and super nice! On top of this, Diego was a superb photographer who made many beautiful and funny, creative pictures and videos for the whole group (of nine). The places we visited were mesmerizing, especially the Salt Flats, Cactus Island (including a sunset with wine and snacks!), many stunning lagoons (like Laguna Colorada), geysers at sunrise (yep, no sleeping in ...), and views on volcanoes (including an active one blowing steam)! The two overnight accommodations were beyond our expectations - quite cold (no heating inside) and once only a cold shower (wasn't planned, but can happen, so don't freak out over that ...), but good, clean rooms, warm beds (likely add some layers) and good food. Be prepared to have clothes for cold moments. At the end, Diego provided all the help needed to smoothly cross the Bolivia-Chile border and get us on transport to San Pedro de Atacama. All in all, a super tour, great guide and team, great tour companions and fantastic locations - you won't regret this tour and will carry terrific memories for years to come! Worth every dollar and all effort!
