OVERVIEW: An unforgettable 3-day adventure expedition in a 4x4 Toyota land cruiser through the vast blinding-white salt flats of Uyuni into the desert of southwest Bolivia to visit tiny villages lost in the desert, multi-colored lakes filled with flamingos at over 4,000m, Sol de Manana geyser at 5,000m and thermal hot-springs, desert landscapes that inspired artist Salvador Dali with an incredible backdrop of active volcanoes and desert mountains.  Visit one of the world's highest deserts and largest salt flats on this once-in-a-lifetime journey.  

DAY 1 Start the tour off at 10:30am with a visit to Uyuni's train graveyard to see the first locomotives in Bolivia. Then visit the small village of Colchani (salt miners workshops next to the salt flats) and on to the great salt flat of Uyuni. Take photos as you cruise along the vast white expanse of salt, and visit a hotel made completely of salt. Lunch will be served on Inca Wasy (Fish Island) where you will have time to take a hike to the top of the island to see giant cactus and rock formations made of petrified coral. Take time to organize your group for prespective and proportion-distorted photos on the blinding white surface of the salt flats. Spend the night at the tiny village of Agua Quisa where you can visit the ancient cemetery and tiny museum in town.

DAY 2 Start at 7:00 am for breakfast at the hotel and then a visit to the Chiguana desert on the south side of Uyuni salt flat surrounded by volcanoes such as Ollague (5840m) which you can see from the lookout. Continue to the beautiful Andean lagoons inhabited by 3 species of Andean flamingos. Visit the Desert of Siloli at 4550m, the highest and driest in the world) to take a photo next to the Rock tree, a lava rock formation.

Take a 3-hour tour to visit the local workers in the active mine of Cerro Rico (at 4,400m) and learn the history of Potosi which was built after the discovery of silver and other precious metals in the nearby mountains. You will learn about the grueling work and challenging way of life for the miners who live day-by-day trying to extract enough rock from the mine to provide a day's salary which does not always happen. Purchase gifts of dynamite, coca leaves, chocolates and beer to take to the miners you encounter on your tour and ask for a photograph of them in their working conditions.

You will be picked up at your hotel between 9:00 - 9:30am and taken towards Cerro Rico to learn about the history of Potosi and the life of the miners. Before arriving to the mine you will stop at a workshop where you can change into waterproof boots and put protective pants and shirt over your clothing so you don't get dirty. Just outside the workshop you will see the miners' marketplace where dynamite, coca leaves, cigarettes, boots, and tools are sold for the hardworking miners. Here you can buy a few things to give as presents in exchange for photographs inside the mine (and quite possibly a dynamic explosion demonstration if you ask nicely).

The tour inside the mine lasts about an hour and descends approximately 2 or 3 levels to visit "El Tio", the god of the mine, and to get a feel for the harsh working conditions. If you wish to go further, ask your guide but proceed with caution and remember you are in a live mine with miners digging in the mountain above you. You will be dropped off at your hostel between 12:30 - 13:00 hrs. and will have time to explore some other great sights in Potosi like the Casa de Moneda (National Mint), Cathedral and Plaza 10 de Noviembre.
