Salar De Uyuni Travel Guide & Tips

9 Must-Do Activities near Uyuni Salt Flats, Bolivia

Welcome to the enchanting world of Bolivia's Uyuni Salt Flats, where the earth seamlessly meets the sky, creating a surreal landscape that captivates travelers from around the globe. The Uyuni Salt Flats, also known as Salar de Uyuni, are the world's largest salt flat, spanning over 4,000 square miles and boasting unparalleled otherworldly beauty.

Salar de Uyuni: Highlights
What was once a prehistoric lake is now the world's largest salt flat, stretching out over 11,000 sq. km. on Bolivia's Altiplano plateau. It fuels a huge salt mining industry and has been recognized by Travel & Leisure Magazine as one of the world's strangest natural wonders.

So what is there to see on this peculiar barren plain in the heights of the Bolivian mountainscape?

Salt Lakes! Obviously. Just witnessing this salt desert will leave you with a sense of awe and wonder. The cracked and broken desert stretches out interminably in a dry sea of whiteness. Like many deserts, you might see mirages as the sun dances on the reflective surface, but unlike most deserts, you won't find even a grain of sand.
Flamingos. Interestingly, the salty lagoons that have formed make for a delightful home for the scores of pink flamingos that live here.
Other nearby destinations worth visiting on your Bolivia trip include the Atacama desert and other places in the Altiplano like the Laguna Colorada.

Best Time of the Year to Visit Salar de Uyuni

You can visit Uyuni any time of the year as the seasonal differences are small. The altitude is at 3600 meters (feet), which makes for cool days and nights.

The rainy season is from November until March, when the temperatures are warmer and more importantly, there's a better chance of seeing the salt lake beds filled with water, which gives them a mirror effect, and that million dollar photo opportunity that you came to Uyuni for.

The winter months of June, July, and August are drier, almost without rainfall, and see lower temperatures, averaging below freezing at nights with highs around 15 degrees celsius (60 F).
