Train Graveyard - Colchani - Incahuasi Island - Salt Flats

Isla Incahuasi - Day 1: Uyuni - Colchani - Incahuasi Island - Pia Pia Island - VILLA CANDELARIA (1L;1D)

Your tour will begin at 10:30 am, at Andes 2 Amazon’s office. The first stop will be Uyuni’s†’train graveyard’, to see the first locomotives in Bolivia. You’ll then visit the small settlement of Colchani (salt miners’ workshops next to the salt flats). Here, you’ll see handicrafts made of salt, and textile art made of llama and alpaca fiber. The tour will continue onto the great Salt Flats of Uyuni, which are at an altitude of 3650m. Take photos as you cruise along the vast white expanse of salt, see Los Ojos de Agua Salada (‘salt water eyes’) and then visit a hotel made completely of salt! This amazing place currently serves as a museum.†

Following this jam-packed morning, after lunch you’ll carry on to†“Isla Incahuasi” (Fish Island), where you will have time to take a hike to the top of the island to see giant cacti, and rock formations made of petrified coral. Make sure you and your group pose for some fun perspective- and proportion-distorted photos, taken against the backdrop of the striking white surface of the salt flats.†

Then, we’ll head to Pia Pia island, to see the beautiful sunset over the salt flats. Finish off at the village of Ajencha, and enjoy the unique experience of spending the night in a hotel made almost entirely of salt, called “Santiago Jukil”.†
