In the expansive highlands of Bolivia lies a realm where reality blurs and surreal landscapes come alive. Uyuni, a city pulsating with unique energy, becomes an immersive tapestry of discovery through the lens of Uyuni Tours, unveiling its secrets to intrepid travelers.
Uyuni City stands at an impressive altitude of approximately 3,656 meters (11,995 feet) above sea level.
Uyuni’s climate reflects the extremes characteristic of high-altitude environments. Days can be surprisingly warm, with temperatures often reaching around 20 to 25 degrees Celsius (68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit). However, as the sun sets over the vast salt flats, temperatures can plummet dramatically, frequently dipping below freezing during the night. This temperature dance between day and night accentuates the surreal nature of Uyuni’s landscapes.
