Your journey begins in La Paz, where you will board the Todo Turismo overnight bus to Uyuni.
The bus is designed for a comfortable overnight journey and includes 160° reclining seats, Starlink Wi-Fi, a polar blanket, pillow, and an onboard toilet.
During the trip, you will receive a hot dinner, breakfast, water, and one hot drink, allowing you to rest during the night before arriving in Uyuni.
The bus travels overnight from La Paz to Uyuni, arriving the following morning. Upon arrival, our team will meet you at the bus office and assist you before the start of your 3-day Uyuni Salt Flats and Colored Lagoons adventure.
Arrival in Uyuni: Approximately 7:30 a.m.
Upon arrival in Uyuni, our team will meet you at the bus office and accompany you to a nearby cafeteria. This complimentary assistance is provided so you do not have to wait outside in the early morning cold and can stay warm and comfortable until it is time to continue to our office.
If you wish, you may have breakfast at the cafeteria. Breakfast is optional and is not included in the tour price, so any food or drinks must be paid directly by the passenger.
Please note that pickups from the bus office to the cafeteria, and later from the cafeteria to our office, are done on foot and not by vehicle, as Uyuni is a very small and walkable town. This complimentary service is provided to guide passengers, help them avoid getting lost, and ensure they arrive at our office easily and without inconvenience.
At approximately 9:00 a.m., our team will meet you again at the cafeteria and accompany you to our Uyuni office, where the group will be organized and the final preparations for the tour will take place.
Before departure, the tour guide will provide a short briefing about the 3-day route, explain important recommendations, give useful information about the journey, and answer any last questions before the adventure begins.

Weather in Uyuni Salt Flats.
During adverse weather conditions, we are not responsible for rain or snowfall on the route, or for attractions that may be closed due to weather-related circumstances. These situations are beyond our control.
Rainy Season (Mirror Effect) – Jan–Apr: Thin water layer creates a giant mirror—perfect for unique photos. Some areas may flood; February has the best chances of the mirror effect.
Dry Season (Desert Landscape) – May–Nov: Completely dry salt flats with iconic hexagonal patterns—ideal for 4x4 exploration and creative photos. Very cold nights; bring warm clothes and sun protection.
Transition Periods (Best of Both Worlds) – Apr, Nov & Dec: A mix of both seasons—small water mirrors or more stable weather.
It depends on how sensitive you are to the cold. During the 3-day tour, nights are always very cold. The accommodations do not have heating in the rooms, as they are located within one of the largest nature reserves in Bolivia, where each village must protect the environment and minimize pollution. Gas is also a limited resource in these remote areas.
Hotels provide blankets, but only the basic amount—no extras. If you get cold easily, we recommend renting a sleeping bag. For more details about temperatures along the route, please check the Questions and Answers section.
On the first night, there is electricity all night and hot water available for showers. On the second night, please note that electricity is only available to charge devices from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Most of the time, there is no hot water because the extreme cold causes the pipes to freeze.
The second night is spent near the Red Lagoon, where local communities do not have a power grid. They rely on gasoline generators that provide electricity for only two hours in order to avoid pollution and protect the environment.
