Uyuni 3 Day Tour Itinerary Overview
Day 1 | Uyuni: The Adventure Begins
Your Uyuni salt flats 3 day tour kicks off with a small group of fellow adventurers, setting out from Uyuni into Bolivia’s surreal landscapes. First stop: the haunting Train Cemetery, where abandoned locomotives lie scattered in the desert, silent relics of Bolivia’s mining past. From there, the group rolls onward to the Museo de Sal and Incahuasi Island—a surreal island of towering cacti rising from a sea of salt. As night falls, you’ll bunk down in a cozy, private room in a simple refuge. With an en-suite bathroom and stunning views of the Thunupa Volcano, it’s all you need to recharge for the journey ahead.
Day 2 | Uyuni: From Salt to Sand
Today, the Uyuni salt flats 3 day tour leaves the blinding white of the salt flats behind as your small group journeys into the raw, untamed landscapes of the Siloli Desert. Here, Bolivia unveils some of its most surreal sights: towering volcanoes on the horizon, endless stretches of desert, and mineral-rich lakes where flocks of flamingos flash their brilliant pink feathers against the stark desert backdrop. As night falls, you’ll stay in a comfortable refuge—a simple, welcoming spot with all the essentials, surrounded by miles of rugged, untouched scenery. It’s an authentic desert experience, where comfort meets the wild.
Day 3 | Uyuni: Sunrise in a Surreal World
On the final day of your Uyuni 3 day tour, an early start brings you into the heart of the Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve. As dawn breaks, explore steaming geysers and natural hot springs that seem to bubble up from the very core of the earth. Today’s route is like stepping into a surreal painting: first, the dreamlike landscapes of the Dali Desert, where twisted rock formations and vast sands evoke the work of the famous artist; then, the striking emerald waters of Laguna Verde; and finally, the fiery red hues of Laguna Colorada, where flamingos add a splash of life to the alien scenery. After a morning filled with unforgettable sights, you’ll head back to Uyuni, wrapping up this otherworldly journey just in time for an afternoon departure.

Mind-blowing Uyuni 3 Day Tour!
Absolutely surreal! This Uyuni 3 Day Tour hit all the right notes—from the endless salt flats that felt like another planet to flamingos strutting around red and green lagoons. Our guide was a legend, sharing stories that made each stop unforgettable. The small group vibe was perfect, and the cozy rooms with private bathrooms were a great way to recharge. If you’re after raw, jaw-dropping landscapes, this tour is pure magic!
We’re Olivia and James from England, and our Uyuni 3-Day Tour was absolutely unforgettable. A huge shoutout to Fernando, our guide, who was fantastic—his knowledge, humor, and energy made the trip even more special. He showed us hidden gems, shared fascinating stories, and even helped us nail those fun salt flat photos!
The accommodations were simple but really comfortable. We had hot water, private rooms, and plenty of space to relax after long days of exploring. It wasn’t luxury, but it had everything we needed.
Between the stunning salt flats, colorful lagoons, and the care Fernando took, this tour was beyond our expectations. Pack some layers, bring a camera, and trust us—this is an adventure you’ll never forget.
