I would recommend joining a daytime tour instead, as it allows you to see”

“Brian was a great guide, answering our many questions and going above and beyond to ensure we had the best time (he even stopped on the way back to Uyuni in the evening to help us get great photos of the stars). We stopped at the train cemetery and learnt about the salt making process in a village outside the salt flats - not essential but great extras. The biggest highlight was of course the salt flats - we had a lovely lunch together on the salt flats, visited the salt maze and monuments and ended with some wine at sunset. Cannot recommend enough!”

9.Trip to Uyuni Salt Flats with Wine at Sunset

“Excelente actividad. Vale la pena contratarla, con mi familia disfrutamos mucho, todo en orden con la comida, los guías son espectaculares y todo estuvo muy bien planeado, inolvidable el atardecer. Tomar en cuenta que el bus no es privado es el que tomas en la terminal terrestre, la agencia que hace el tour es una agencia local diferente a la que dice en esta aplicación. Contraté el tour 4 meses atrás y a pesar de que me dijeron que sería bus cama, compraron los boletos un día antes y solo obtuvimos semi cama en primer piso. Sin embargo, recomiendo mucho este tour a pesar de estos pequeños detalles.”
