Great tour! Do dress warmly, as the night go to minus 15 degrees Celsius. The guide spoke good English & and was caring for the group. Note that pretty much all operators drive the same route and stay in the same type of accommodations. So, be prepared to sleep the second night in a hostel/barrack in the nature reserve. Beautiful, breathtaking, but don’t expect Saint Tropez pampering.

Wonderful experience!!! Loved everything we got to see and the guide and driver were great. The guide provided a perfect amount of information about each place and kindly took photos throughout the experience which were shared with us after the trip. It is cold to do this in May/June so make sure to bring warm clothes and say yes to the sleeping bag that you can rent, it’s worth it :)

our guide Julio who was always present and who supervised the group and the drivers well the places through which we passed among others the salar and the different lagunas the salt hotel in Santiago de Agencha the sunset on the salar d 'Uyuni

Jesse was a fantastic guide over the 3 days while Edgar was a great driver. The tour was fantastic and contained so much. We were also very nervous about crossing the border into Chile after hearing some horror stories but they made it so easy.

Amazing ! Perfect organization ! Lunch very good ! Guide excellent a lot of information !
