Embark on the unforgettable Classic Uyuni Sky Mirror Expedition, a 3‑Day Uyuni Salt Flat Adventure that transports you deep into the heart of Bolivia’s high plains. This is not just a tour — it’s a journey through one of the most surreal landscapes on Earth, where the sky touches the ground and nature reveals its mirror magic.
Why This Tour Is Unique
Uyuni Mirror Effect Photography Tour: During the rainy season, experience the spectacular Salar de Uyuni Reflection Trip, when a thin layer of water covers the salt flats and turns them into a gigantic, natural mirror — creating perfect photographic moments.
Off‑Road Uyuni Scenic Expedition: Travel in a rugged 4×4 across the altiplano landscape, visiting remote and breathtaking features off the beaten path.
High‑Plateau Salt Flat Exploration: Leave the ordinary behind as you cross Bolivia’s high-altitude deserts, traverse volcanic terrains, and feel the expansiveness of the salt crust.
Uyuni Sky Mirror & Lagoon Experience: On top of the salt flats, your route will likely include otherworldly destinations like colorful altiplano lagoons, steaming geysers, and geothermal fields — depending on the season.
Sustainable Uyuni Salt Flats Adventure: Designed to minimize environmental impact, this journey promotes responsible exploration of Bolivia’s fragile high‑altitude ecosystems.

Visit the Laguna Verde, an emerald lake at the foot of the Licancabur volcano. Colour is caused by sediment and mineral content.
