More about Salar de Uyuni
This salt flat is the largest in the world and is a chilling, memorable landscape. Uyuni is what is left over from several huge prehistoric lakes. Besides salt, this unusual landscape also has a store of lithium, although there are no mining operations currently in place.
You’ll see more on a trip to Uyuni than just salt. Within the salt flats, you can see the Incahuasi Island, a cluster of giant cacti. This is a strange formation that covers 61 acres (24 ha). Beyond the flats, you can visit lagunas and geysers.
We believe travel is more than ticking destinations off a list – it’s about discovering new places deeply, feeling connected wherever you go, and knowing you have a trusted team behind you every step of the way.
