Description
Are you willing to visit a breathtaking place in South America? Salar de Uyuni, situated in the Bolivian high-plateau within the highland region of the Andes mountain range, is a great option!
During this 4-day private tour to the vastest continuous salt desert in the world, you will enjoy unforgettable views. And not only will you be able to see the Salar de Uyuni, but you will also get to know different corners that make Bolivia so interesting to visit.
The program starts in the Chilean town of San Pedro de Atacama, from where I will guide you to the frontier between Chile and Bolivia.
Some of the highlights of this trip are: the Laguna Colorada, where you will be able to see the native fauna of the region, the viewpoint of the volcano Ollague and the Incahuasi Island. During this trip, you will even sleep one night in a shelter built purely of salt, in Salar de Chalviri.
We’ll be reaching all these places on a 4×4 vehicle, but there will also be time for some short treks and for taking photographs. Besides, I will be glad to tell you everything about the culture in the Andes and show you picturesque places and habits.
Join me in this amazing trip to Salar de Uyuni and get to know the wonders that inhabit South America. Take this unique opportunity to see rich landscapes and learn about Bolivian culture. Request to book this trip!

From there I organize many expeditions to beautiful peaks on a weekly basis. I’ve done more than 300 high altitude ascents, and more than 25 peaks over 6000 metres.

This is an easy assent! I ended up paying $200 for a two hour experience and an apple and piece of chocolate ( lunch 😳) If you plan on doing this hike which I highly recommend, don’t book it with these guys - total rip off!! You can go with a group for about $70 if you book locally from San Pedro! It’s a beautiful view from the summit! It’s not even hard to get there ( they drive you most of the way!) My guide was lovely, great chat, nice person but trust me $200 is a massive massive massive rip off for this ‘experience’

The trip was a great experience with a wonderful view! However, unfortunately the tour description does not fit with the actual tour. There was no breakfast with acclimatisation and the duration was shorter. Most important the tour was not guided by Christian, but by some of his employes which did not speak English so we didn\'t get much explanations except some fragments that we understood in Spanish. Therefore we were a litlle disappointed concerning the guide of this tour.

Are you up for a rewarding adventure - go for the Lascar Volcano. Our very experienced guide Christian Fernandez made sure everything was in place for a great experience, from safe driving to making breakfast to setting a good pace for reaching the top without being too affected by the altitude. Stunning views and a great sense of accomplishment, our thanks to Christian and explore-share.com for a truly memorable hike. Best regards, Erik (37) and Christopher (30), Norway
