Itinerary

Your adventure begins with a warm welcome at the airport and a brief exploration of Uyuni’s charming town. From there, we’ll head to the iconic Train Cemetery, where you’ll delve into the fascinating history of Bolivia’s steam locomotives and their legacy in the region.

Next, we visit the Colchani Village, a quaint hub of local culture and craftsmanship. Take your time browsing the artisanal market, where you’ll find unique souvenirs and products made by local artisans.

As we journey into the heart of the Uyuni Salt Flats, the landscape transforms into a surreal expanse of pristine white. Stretching over 10,000 square kilometers, the salt flats resemble a boundless natural canvas, merging seamlessly with the sky in a breathtaking horizon. Walking across this otherworldly terrain is an experience like no other.

Our next stop is the enchanting Incahuasi Island, a rocky outcrop in the middle of the flats adorned with giant cacti. Enjoy a leisurely walk and take in the panoramic views of the salt flats from this elevated vantage point.

As the day draws to a close, prepare for a spectacular sunset. Watch as the golden hues of the sun reflect on the salt flats, creating a magical scene that will stay with you forever. After this unforgettable experience, we’ll transfer you to your comfortable accommodation for a relaxing night in this unique setting.

Overnight: Accommodation as per itinerary


Begin your day with a nourishing breakfast before continuing your adventure southward, leaving the salt flats behind and entering the mesmerizing landscapes of the Siloli Desert.

Our first stop is the extraordinary Valley of Rocks, a region famous for its dramatic rock formations sculpted by the elements over millennia. Here, you’ll marvel at the iconic Stone Tree, a gravity-defying natural monument that captures the imagination of all who visit.

For lunch, we’ll select a picturesque spot, where you’ll savor a delicious meal surrounded by breathtaking scenery.

In the afternoon, you’ll arrive at the stunning Laguna Colorada (Red Lake), a vibrant body of water renowned for its deep red hue, caused by algae and minerals. This unique ecosystem is home to flocks of graceful flamingos, adding a touch of life and color to the tranquil setting.

As the day comes to an end, we’ll head to your accommodation near the Red Lake. Nestled in the serene landscape, your comfortable lodge offers the perfect place to unwind and reflect on the day’s incredible sights and experiences.

Witness the raw power of nature as the sunrise adds a magical touch to this surreal landscape.

Continuing your journey, you’ll pass through the enigmatic Dali Desert, named for its striking resemblance to the dreamlike landscapes depicted in Salvador Dalí’s paintings. The desert’s surreal beauty, with its sparse vegetation and wind-sculpted rock formations, is a sight to behold.

Next, immerse yourself in the tranquility of Laguna Negra (Black Lake), a serene and otherworldly body of water surrounded by rugged volcanic rock and contrasting greenery. The lake offers a peaceful moment to appreciate the region’s stunning biodiversity.

Fantastic Trip

I am a little late in posting a review. We returned from this trip in early March, right when everything started to close down due to Covid-19. I can tell you that the memories of this trip have kept me going while sheltering in place. If you are thinking this might be the trip for you, please know that it is very fast paced with moving from place to place almost every night was quite challenging. The cycling itself was challenging based on ones fitness level. My husband completed every kilometer, while I did about three-quarters of the cycling. A lot of it depends on the heat, but for a female in my early 50s, I found it very doable. We had the most fabulous guide and crew. I cannot say enough of about our guide Son - he was absolutely amazing - taking care of all the details while we enjoyed ourselves. There are plenty of water/snack stops with fresh fruit and amazing snacks (ginger/nuts/cookies). They take very good care of you.

A Brilliant Trip

We have been on a couple of cycling trips before and this one was probably the best. Tri our guide was outstanding and all our fellow cyclists were a great bunch of people. We got a real flavour of life in Vietnam. Lots of interesting food.The meals were good and plentiful. Thought we would lose weight but didn't! Good Hotels. Many highlights but a couple or so to point out,Whale Island and Hoi An, the 30km exhilarating downhill ride and cycling in city centre traffic...... great fun but leaves your heart racing. It is quite full on which leaves you wanting to spend more time in some of the places visited. The usual pattern is arrive at 5 - 6 pm, leave at 7.15 next morning. However we did find time to swim in the hotel pools. Overnight train was great fun ....all part of the adventure. To cover the length of the country there are some longish times in the bus but the bus was comfortable but great chance to talk with your fellow travellers. This also gives you time to see more of the country and people watch. Staggered us how much could be piled on a scooter!The bikes were ideal for the road conditions as well as being clean and very well maintained. At the frequent refreshment/rest stops there was lots of juice, water, fruit, nuts and biscuits. The driver and bike mechanic were very friendly and very competent. Great organization, things happened when Tri said they would.
