“Todo perfecto. El guía se puso en contacto el día antes e incluso durante la recogida por la mañana, íbamos viendo por dónde iba el bus. El trayecto es largo, recomiendo mucho pasar una noche en el lago porque si no es una paliza, 5 horas ir (entre bus y ferry)”

3.2 days trek in Inca Trails and the Crater de Maragua

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 11 reviews · 2 days · from $124Top rated

Walk from Chataquila along Inca stone paths to Maragua Crater, then continue to dinosaur footprints, Jalqa weaving communities, and Majada. The two-day trip covers about 28 kilometres, with shared lodging, meals, public transport out, and private transport back. Guides such as Gary, Li, Lizandro, and Johnny have led recent departures.

“Fantastische wandeling door extreem mooie natuur met ontzettend veel kleuren en uitgestrektheid. De tocht is heel divers (qua ondergrond, qua uitzichten en qua dingen die je ziet). De weg terug in de auto is spectaculair en alleen dat is de trip al waard. Onze gids Li vertelde veel mooie verhalen en geeft veel uitleg over bijv de dinosaurus-footprints. Hij liep alleen wel heel snel zodat er soms weinig tijd was om foto’s te maken. Het eten en de accommodatie onderweg zijn heel eenvoudig.”

6.2-Day Private Tour Uyuni Salt Flats including Tunupa Volcano

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 3 reviews · 2 days · from $787

You’ll explore Uyuni’s train cemetery, Colchani, Incahuasi Island, Coqueza, and the salt flats in a private car with an English or Spanish guide. The tour includes a salt-hotel night, meals, water, snacks, and a climb toward Tunupa Volcano and its mummy cave. Ask ahead about the exact overnight hotel and volcano access.

“We booked the tour assuming we will stay in the middle of the Salt flats near Tunupa Volcano as was mentioned in the Full description at the time of booking. When we arrived in Uyuni they tried to check us into an extremely basic hotel after having paid close to 500 USD for our trip per person just for having the chance to stay in the salt flats and potentially stargaze in the night. When the agent came he made up this whole story about how Tunupa Volcano is flooded and so no cars are going there. When we pointed out that the trip was booked barely 12 hours ago…”
