Full Day Private Tour Salar de Uyuni and Lunch in Thunupa
The poster child of Bolivia's tourist scene, the Salar de Uyuni is every bit as spectacular as rumor has it. The world's largest salt flats span 400 square miles, creating an otherworldly landscape of endless horizons, dreamy reflections that swallow up the sky, and a poetic desolation that seems to strip the universe of its purest roots. After convenient pickup from your hotel or airport in Uyuni, travel in a 4X4 van with a bilingual guide and private driver. Pass by an old train cemetery, marvel at the rock formations and towering cacti of Incahuasi Island, and visit the Thunupa Volcano. Enjoy a delicious breakfast, lunch, and a champagne toast included in the tour price.

Train Cemetery
The Train Cemetery in Uyuni is a major tourist attraction. It is a desolate place full of abandoned railway machinery.

The rise of silver mining demanded the construction of railways and Uyuni was the place in Bolivia where the whistle of a train was heard for the first time. You will have a visit with photo stops.
