Bolivia’s Uyuni region packs an incredible punch with its otherworldly salt flats and pristine national parks. A standout 3-day excursion ($265) combines the must-see Salt Flats with Eduardo Avaroa National Park, offering tremendous value for budget-conscious travelers.
The tour gets my stamp of approval for its well-planned itinerary: you’ll explore the haunting Train Cemetery, learn about salt production at the Salt Hotel-Museum, and spot pink flamingos in their natural habitat. What I especially love is how it covers such diverse terrain – from the stark white expanse of the salt flats to the red-rock formations of Siloli Desert and the steaming Sol de Mañana geysers.
With English guides, 4WD transport, and all essentials covered (meals, lodging), it’s a hassle-free way to experience Bolivia’s natural treasures. For those ready to experience South America’s most remarkable landscapes, check out these top-rated Uyuni tours.
