Uyuni Salt Pans
Pachatusantrek’s tour begins in Uyuni and covers all of the ground around the Bolivian Salt Pans over three full days.
Salar de Uyuni, located in the Andes in southwest Bolivia, is the world’s largest salt flat. It’s the legacy of a prehistoric lake that went dry, leaving behind a desertlike, nearly 11,000-sq.-km. landscape of bright-white salt, rock formations and cacti-studded islands. Its otherworldly expanse can be observed from central Incahuasi Island. Though wildlife is rare in this unique ecosystem, it harbors many pink flamingos.
This tour takes you through the Salt Flats over three days and shows you all of the surrounding sights that are equally fascinating and amazing. A tour guide will be with you at all times to explain everything and everywhere that you will go and see. Please see our ‘detailed itinerary’ page for specific details.
Your adventure step by step
We leave the city of Cuzco in our private transport, early in the morning, heading towards the Sacred Valley of the Inkas, to the town of Calca to later take the road to the Lares Valley. The highest point on the road to Lares is 4400 masl, at a pass of the same name.
We continue on the dirt track beyond Lares, to the village of Ccachin, where we will visit some artisans who will demonstrate their abilities in textile confection. We will have the marvellous opportunity to be able to buy from them directly some of the garments that, surely, we will like.
Here we will have lunch, to later have the chance to walk or continue in our transport, to the community of Cochayoq; where we will have dinner and camp.
We leave Cochayoq and its typical Andean landscape, to climb to the mountain pass of Abra Tirihuayjasa, where we will have a magnificent view of the Tirihuay peak and the Yuraqocha and Yanaqocha lakes. The descent to the community of Qelqanqa is through the ecological level known as Puna, where the rearing of camelids is the principal activity of the local people. We will have dinner and spend the night in this community.
We leave Qelqanqa to tackle the last high pass of our trek, from where we will have a breathtaking view of the Urubamba mountain range. We will descend through a beautiful pampa to the sector of Punta Carretera, from where our transport will transfer us to the community of Patacancha to later go on to the town of Ollantaytambo. Continuation of your trip to Machu Picchu or back to Cuzco.
