Itinerary
START
Day 1: At 07:00 in San Pedro de Atacama.
END:
Day 4: At 13:00 in the center or bus terminal of San Pedro de Atacama (this end time could be modified due to weather conditions or force majeure, so we recommend leaving your departure from San Pedro de Atacama for the day after the tour end date).

Day 1: We will pick you up at the agreed meeting point and depart in a minibus from San Pedro de Atacama to the border with Bolivia, passing by the border offices of Chile and Bolivia. Once at the border, we will change vehicles to a 4×4 for 6 people. On this first day we will visit places in the Bolivian highlands, such as Laguna Blanca and Laguna Verde, located at the foot of the Licancabur volcano. We will continue visiting the Salvador Dalí desert, the Polques hot springs, with time to bathe, and the Sol de Mañana geysers, intermittent springs of water that spring out at a temperature of 90 °C. We will end the day at Laguna Colorada, nesting center for more than 30,000 flamingos. Tonight we will stay at the Villamar hostel.

Day 2: After breakfast, we will take the route to Tomás Lakha, where you can see some pre-Incan cave paintings. Afterwards, we will visit Italia Perdida, a place where the volcanic rock took the form of what seems to be an abandoned city. Then, we will head to Laguna Vinto and Laguna Catal, where you can walk and see the typical fauna of the Bolivian Altiplano. Afterwards, we will visit the Anaconda canyon and also the Sora canyon, before continuing towards the Chiguana salt flat and arriving at Colcha K where you will spend the second night.

Day 3: Very early in the morning, we will begin our last day of the tour with a view of the sunrise at the Salar de Uyuni. After this experience, we will move to Incahuasi Island, a limestone rock formation located in the center of the salt flat that we can walk around and get another perspective of the salt flat. We will continue to the Salt Museum and the town of Colchani, outside the salt flat. From here we will move to Uyuni, passing by the train cemetery, where we will make a short stop to take pictures. In Uyuni, we will say goodbye to our driver-guide, who accompanied us during the previous three days, and then we will have some free time to have lunch and tour part of the city. Afterwards, we will meet the driver who will take us back, stopping in Villamar for dinner and rest.

Day 4: We will wake up very early to continue our return trip and reach the border of Chile and Bolivia. Once here, and after the corresponding procedures, we will change vehicles to a minibus to return to San Pedro de Atacama.
