Spend about seven hours crossing the Salar de Uyuni by Toyota Land Cruiser. You’ll visit the Train Cemetery, Colchani, Playa Blanca, Inca Wasi, and a salt hotel for lunch. Guides such as Jaime and Tado have been praised for clever perspective photos and useful local knowledge, though guide language and comfort can vary.

“With something like over 80 tour operators in town, Red Planet is among the best. Jaime, our guide, knew every nook and cranny of the salt flats, the desert and the surrounding area. He knew about where to go and why and was so VERY helpful with the trick photo shoots. A maestro to be sure. We visited at the end of April, which was the start of the dry season although we did get some mirror effect. Feb and Mar are supposed to be the best times of the year for that. The history of the entire region going back 40,000 years really cool also. Sadly, pictures just cant…”

“Incredible High-Altitude Hike to Laguna Esmeralda with Buhos Tours! My partner and I recently completed the Laguna Esmeralda trek near Charquini with Buhos Tours, and we absolutely loved the entire experience. It was challenging, rewarding, and perfectly organized. The Destination: The views at the top are truly breathtaking. The lagoon itself is a stunning, vibrant emerald color set against the dramatic backdrop of the Charquini Glacier and snowy peaks. If you've already spent time acclimatizing in La Paz, this is a fantastic hike. The altitude (over 5,000 meters) made it a tough push, but the stunning landscape was worth every single step. The Agency & Guide: We were so happy…”

We saw a lot, had a great group representing 6 countries, something I always enjoy. Super great for 20, 30 year olds which was our group except us. Might caution 50 on up that roads are very bumpy for people with bad backs. I loved it & would recommend it to friends that I know love getting into the culture as a priority, the accommodations are rustic but adequate!”
