Uyuni Salt Flat
2026 Global 100 - Best Things to Do

Uyuni Salt Flat

7.5
5.0/5
83 reviews
Uyuni Salt Flat is located on the Bolivian plateau at an altitude of approx. 3,700 m and is one of the world's largest salt-covered wildernesses. This vast white salt flat was formed by the evaporation of prehistoric lakes. The salt layer is several meters thick, and local residents still mine and process salt on the shores to this day. The salt lake's most striking view is the "mirror of the sky" that appears during the rainy season—from December to March each year, rainwater accumulates on the flat salt surface. On calm, sunny days, the entire lake transforms into a giant mirror, perfectly reflecting the sky, clouds, and even the starry sky, making it hard to distinguish reality from reflection. Even if you miss the rainy season, the salt flats in the dry season are equally stunning: the salt surface, cracked by long-term exposure to the sun, displays fields of hexagonal salt patterns that stretch white and vast to the horizon. Incahuasi Island, located in the center of the salt lake, is a fossilized coral island covered with giant cacti several meters tall. You can climb to the top for a 360-degree view of the entire salt flat. At night, looking up at the starry sky from the salt surface, there is almost no light pollution, and the Milky Way is clearly visible.Bolivia · Nor Lipez

Lake Titicaca

Lake Titicaca straddles the Collao Plateau on the border of Peru and Bolivia, with an altitude of approx. 3,800 m. It is a rare, large, high-altitude navigable freshwater lake in the world, often known as the Pearl of the Plateau. Although located inland, its water is not salty, and despite its high altitude, it never freezes. The crisp, thin air of the plateau and the light, which is closer to the sun's true color, make the lake surface appear even bluer than the sky. The origin of the lake's name is debated, but a widely circulated theory is that it is derived from the local language for Rock of the Puma. A highly recognizable experience here is the reed floating islands of the Uros people: hundreds of years ago, this small tribe moved onto the lake to escape the encroachment of the Inca Empire, creating floating islands using layers of bundled reed roots and stalks. Today, there are still hundreds of floating islands on the lake, where thousands of Uros people have lived for generations. On the islands, reeds are almost everything in life—houses, boats, and beds are all built from reeds, and the tender stems of the reeds, playfully called lake bananas by the islanders, can be eaten directly, with the craft of building with reeds passed down from generation to generation.Peru · Puno

Lake Colorado is also known as "Red Lake". There are many borax islands in the lake. The white color of these islands and the reddish red of the Red Lake are cleverly matched to form a beautiful landscape. The red and white lake surface is like an oil painting. The red and white paintings are both abstract and subtle, making people have to sigh the magic of nature. Red Lake is also a habitat for flamingos.Bolivia · Sur Lipez

Located in the Potosi Department in southwestern Bolivia, at an altitude of about 4,100 meters, Lake Edionda is a gem in the Andean salt lake chain. This alkaline lake was formed by volcanic activity and glacial erosion. The lake surface changes from emerald green to cobalt blue with the seasons. White borax crystal belts surround the lakeshore, forming a surreal landscape with the volcanoes in the distance. The rich plankton in the lake attracts a large number of James flamingos to inhabit, and the orange-pink bird flocks form a sharp contrast with the azure water. The lake area belongs to the Eduardo Avaroa National Reserve. It is necessary to start from the Uyuni Salt Flats and drive about 3 hours along the southwest expedition route to arrive. It is recommended to participate in the local 2-3 day off-road vehicle itinerary, combined with the Red Lake, Green Lake and other attractions. It is easy to capture mirror reflections when the light is soft in the early morning, and a windproof jacket is required in the afternoon when there are strong winds. There is a simple viewing platform on the lakeshore, but no dining facilities, so you need to bring your own dry food.Bolivia · Nor Lipez

The Quemado Palace is located on the west side of the Murillo Square in the center of La Paz, the administrative capital of Bolivia. It is the administrative office of La Paz and the center of power and politics. This neoclassical building was built in 1850. It was named "the burned palace" because of many fires and reconstructions. The existing white facade and dome bell tower are the typical style after the reconstruction in the late 19th century. Tourists can visit the exterior of the building and the guard changing ceremony in front of the door. The interior is only open to official events by appointment. The cathedral on the east side of the square and the Congress Building on the north side constitute the historical core area of ​​​​La Paz. It is recommended to combine walking tours. The exterior wall of the building is decorated with reliefs of the Bolivian national emblem. The bronze lion statue in front of the door is a historical relic donated by Italy, which is suitable for photography. Visitors need to bring their original passports to register at the guard office. Large bags and professional photography equipment are prohibited. The visitor center on the north side of the square provides free guide brochures, and you can visit the Gold Museum, which is only 200 meters away.Bolivia · La Paz

Cactus Island, located in the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia, is a unique natural landscape. This small island is located in the middle of a vast salt flat and is famous for its dense growth of giant cacti. The island has a rugged terrain covered with ancient coral fossils, providing a good viewing point to enjoy the magnificent 360-degree views of the salt flats. Visitors can explore the island on foot along the trails, which take about 30 to 45 minutes to complete and are suitable for most people. Along the way, you can not only observe the cacti up close, but also see the unique flora and fauna of the island. Early morning and evening are ideal times for photography, with soft light and charming scenery. There are no dining facilities on the island, and visitors are advised to bring their own water and snacks. Due to its location on a plateau, the temperature varies greatly, so it is recommended to wear warm clothing and take sun protection measures. Cactus Island is an important stop on the Uyuni Salt Flats tour, and its unique natural landscape and magnificent panoramic views provide visitors with an unforgettable experience.Bolivia · Nor Lipez

The Yungas Nord Road is located in the Bolivian plateau and is a legendary dangerous place. The road runs 61 or 69 kilometers from La Paz to Coroico, the capital of Bolivia. The road condition of this highway is one of the best in the world. The altitude of the higher part is more than 3,000 meters. The road surface is mostly rough, the width of the lane is very narrow, and there is also a lack of buffer space when turning. The tragedy of falling off the cliff. According to statistics, 200-300 tourists die along the highway every year, so the road has the title of "Death Highway".Bolivia · Nor Yungas

The Titicaca Lake on the Copacabana side is quieter and less commercialized than the Puno side. However, the weather was not very good during the two nights we stayed in Copacabana, so we did not take a boat tour of the lake. It was still beautiful to watch from the shore, but the wind was a bit strong.

Uyuni Stinky Lake Tour Guide Recommendation Index🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🦩A must-go for bird watching, and you can also see mythical beasts along the way. It can be said to be a cost-effective route that has both mythical birds and mythical beasts. 📍Geographical location: At the border between Bolivia and Chile, about 4.5 hours one way from Uyuni. 🚙Transportation: Self-driving 🏞Recommended route: Uyuni chartered tour ⌚️Play time: 10 hours 📷Suggested equipment: Telephoto lens according to financial resources! 🔺Remember to run-in with the lens before traveling, otherwise you will regret it. After all, this thing is heavy and big, if it doesn't work, it's basically a waste of money. 👓Clothing suggestions: Sunglasses, sunscreen clothing, physical sunscreen, and non-slip and wear-resistant shoes are preferred. 📝Travel tips: 🔸The weather in Uyuni is unpredictable. I originally wanted to sign up for a three-day tour, but due to heavy rains for several days, the passage to Cactus Island was flooded. Well, so the biggest force majeure for travel is definitely the weather. In the end, I chose a two-day tour. I still recommend that you prepare more travel plans. 🔹The stinky lake is rich in various minerals, especially sulfur, so it will smell like rotten eggs. But you will get used to it after a long time, after all, the picnic in the itinerary is still by the stinky lake. The picnic includes drinks (cola, mineral water), staple food (roasted chicken, rice), vegetable salad, and fruit (banana). 🔸Flamingos in high-altitude areas are mainly pink, one is the variety, and the other is because the chlorophyll content of algae in the salt lake is insufficient. 🔹Whether it is a mythical beast or a mythical bird, they are all highly alert. There is no telephoto lens, and they will run away when they are approached.

It was included in a one-day tour of the Uyuni Salt Flats. It felt like an afterthought. I'm sure some people want to get to the Uyuni Salt Flats quickly, but as the name suggests, it was a unique sight to see an old train in the middle of nowhere. It was a nice little accent to the trip.
