Itinerary and highlights

We start with pick-up from your hotel in Uyuni (4:00 p.m.) to head into the Salar de Uyuni. There we will wait for the sunset while taking photographs.

After reaching the best vantage point, we will begin to appreciate the immensity of the Milky Way and take photographs with a beautiful starry background.

Once the tour is over, we will return to the city of Uyuni, dropping you off at your hotel, terminal, or airport.

Note: The entire salt flat is highly reflective, and during the rainy season (December–May), there is a thin layer of water that creates a mirror effect.

Our stargazing tours operate normally throughout the year except on full moon nights, as the brightness of the full moon obscures the stars and prevents them from being visible.
