This phenomenon creates surreal and magical landscapes, providing a unique opportunity to capture spectacular photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, at night, the Salar de Uyuni offers a completely different spectacle: a clear and bright starry sky that seems endless. The lack of light pollution allows exceptional visibility of the stars and the Milky Way, making starry nights a magical and unforgettable experience. Visitors can contemplate the majesty of the universe in all its splendor while surrounded by this breathtaking natural landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"874\" height=\"566\" data-attachment-id=\"31084\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/bolivia\/things-to-see-in-salar-de-uyuni\/attachment\/where-to-go-in-bolivia\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Where-to-go-in-Bolivia.png?fit=874%2C566&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"874,566\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Where-to-go-in-Bolivia\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Where-to-go-in-Bolivia.png?fit=300%2C194&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Where-to-go-in-Bolivia.png?fit=874%2C566&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Where-to-go-in-Bolivia.png?resize=874%2C566&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Things to see in Salar de Uyuni\" class=\"wp-image-31084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Where-to-go-in-Bolivia.png?w=874&amp;ssl=1 874w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Where-to-go-in-Bolivia.png?resize=300%2C194&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Where-to-go-in-Bolivia.png?resize=768%2C497&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 874px) 100vw, 874px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The incredible landscape of the Salar de Uyuni @unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-see-around-the-salar-de-uyuni\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-around-the-Salar-de-Uyuni\"><\/span>What to see around the Salar de Uyuni<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-city-of-uyuni\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-City-of-Uyuni\"><\/span>1. City of Uyuni<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you travel to the Salar de Uyuni you must first pass through the city that bears the same name. Uyuni, a small town that is mainly famous for being the gateway to the impressive Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt desert in the world. This city is a starting point for adventurers seeking to explore the unique natural beauty of the region. Its charm lies in its rustic and peaceful atmosphere, where you can find local markets with handcrafted products and a rich Bolivian culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the town of Uyuni is mainly visited simply as a gateway to the spectacular salt flat, it is a good place to stay overnight as it offers plenty of accommodation options to its visitors. And once there, it&#8217;s worth taking a stroll around and discovering its own charms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-morning-sun-geyser\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Morning-Sun-Geyser\"><\/span>2. Morning Sun Geyser<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Morning Sun Geyser is a unique geothermal attraction famous for its impressive eruptions of water and steam, which can reach heights of up to 10 meters. This natural phenomenon is located, like the Salar de Uyuni, in the department of Potosi, especially in the desert area Sol de la Ma\u00f1ana, within\u00a0Reserva Nacional de Fauna Andina Eduardo Abaroa (Eduardo Abaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This natural wonder is due to the subway volcanic activity that heats the nearby hot springs and creates spectacular explosions that occur very frequently. One of the best times to witness this incredible spectacle of nature is at sunrise, when the sun&#8217;s rays illuminate the scene, creating an even more magical and picturesque setting. The Morning Sun Geyser is, without a doubt, a must-see stop for those exploring the Salar de Uyuni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-get-to-and-visit-the-salar-de-uyuni\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-get-to-and-visit-the-Salar-de-Uyuni\"><\/span>How to get to and visit the Salar de Uyuni<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get to the Salar de Uyuni from La Paz or Sucre, you can take a flight to the Joya Andina de Uyuni airport. From La Paz, flights are frequent and take about 1 hour, with an average price of about $100 to $200 each way. From Sucre, flights are less frequent and also take approximately 1 hour, with a similar average price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once in Uyuni, to reach the Salar, you can hire local tours that offer different options to explore the area. The tours usually include transportation in all-terrain vehicles and specialized guides, in addition to food, sleeping bag and lodging, in case of a multi-day tour. Prices vary according to the duration and type of tour, but a one-day tour can cost around 35\u20ac and a three-day tour can average around 150\u20ac. The tours take visitors to the highlights of the Salar, such as the water eyes, Incahuasi Island and the stunning reflections of the sky in the flooded plains, providing an unforgettable experience in this amazing landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"866\" height=\"574\" data-attachment-id=\"31085\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/bolivia\/things-to-see-in-salar-de-uyuni\/attachment\/holidays-in-bolivia\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/holidays-in-Bolivia.png?fit=866%2C574&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"866,574\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"holidays-in-Bolivia\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/holidays-in-Bolivia.png?fit=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/holidays-in-Bolivia.png?fit=866%2C574&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/holidays-in-Bolivia.png?resize=866%2C574&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Things to see in Salar de Uyuni\" class=\"wp-image-31085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/holidays-in-Bolivia.png?w=866&amp;ssl=1 866w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/holidays-in-Bolivia.png?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/holidays-in-Bolivia.png?resize=768%2C509&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 866px) 100vw, 866px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Things to see in Salar de Uyuni @unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-stay-in-the-salar-de-uyuni\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-to-stay-in-the-Salar-de-Uyuni\"><\/span>Where to stay in the Salar de Uyuni<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that many of the tours to the Salar de Uyuni are two or three-day tours, so they already include accommodation. Some of them offer interesting accommodations such as salt hotels, simple, but with the necessary comforts to spend a pleasant night surrounded by the magic of the walls built with salt. Others offer camping in the middle of the salt flat and usually include everything you need, such as a sleeping bag, thermal blankets and tents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Salt Hotels:<\/strong> The most famous options are the Salt Palace and the Salt Moon Salt Hotel. As we say, the striking thing about these lodgings is that they are partially built with salt. In the case of the <strong>Palacio de Sal<\/strong>, it offers rooms with beautiful salt domes that give the impression of staying in a 5-star igloo. In addition, the rooms have stunning views of the salt desert and the hotel offers services such as heated swimming pool, gym, gift store, spa, restaurant&#8230; The price per night at the <strong>Palacio de Sal<\/strong> ranges from 220\u20ac to 310\u20ac depending on room and dates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Camping<\/strong>: As mentioned above, many tours offer the unforgettable experience of spending a night camping in the Salar de Uyuni and enjoying the incredible views of the starry sky. It is an experience that we highly recommend, but always booking a tour, with professionals who will know how to guide you and accompany you in case you have any problems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hotels in Uyuni:<\/strong> If you want to stay in the city of Uyuni instead of in the middle of the salt flat, you will also find several options such as <strong>Tonito Hotel, Hotel Rey David, Hostal La Magia de Uyuni<\/strong>, charming and simpler accommodations located in the quiet Uyuni. <strong>Price range: 40-65\u20ac<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-eat-in-the-salar-de-uyuni\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-to-eat-in-the-Salar-de-Uyuni\"><\/span>Where to eat in the Salar de Uyuni?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with the accommodation, if you decide to take a tour of the Salar de Uyuni, it is common that the company organizing the tour will take care of the food for the day or days you are going to be in the Salar de Uyuni. However, here are a couple of options if you go on your own:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tika<\/strong>: An excellent restaurant of Latin American gastronomy with an unbeatable attention, high quality products and abundant dishes. <strong>Price range: 5-20\u20ac<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Railway Cafe-Bistro<\/strong>: A relaxed place to eat, or just have a delicious coffee and recharge your batteries.
