An endless mirror of the sky (rainy season) stunning scenery, the world’s largest salt desert and surreal sunsets & sunrises are everything that is great about this “RV Camper Experience” of Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni.
Sleep under the stars in our comfy RV Camper, wake up in the middle of Uyuni Salt Flats and visit various fascinating locations in this fantastic region in one of South America’s most unique countries.
HIGHLIGHTS
DAY 1
Arrive in the city of Uyuni, our base for this unique experience.
You will be met at the airport, station or anywhere of your choice by our staff, in the morning. This will be followed by an introductory briefing, after which you have the option to visit the Train Cemetery and get to know the city.
The real adventure begins now as we leave Uyuni and drive out into Bolivia's beautiful countryside, firstly passing through the Altiplano (highlands), then past a colorful market before reaching the edge of famed Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flats. Entering the Salar, we will eventually find ourselves in the middle of nowhere as we head into remote country, just in time for lunch.
The afternoon is spent exploring the stunning terrain where the endless horizon provides great photo opportunities. Get settled in your RV Camper equipped with all the amenities to make your stay comfortable, warm and safe before heading back out for some hiking, photography or even mountain biking (optional). Alternatively, simply relax with a good book and an exceptional view to remember.
After one of your most memorable sunsets, we'll spend the evening at our RV camp, relaxing under the stars (weather permitting, most of the time, it does).

DAY 2
Today, a 1.5 hour scenic drive takes us to the base of Volcan Tunupa - a beautiful and little-visited area set in the northern rim of Salar de Uyuni. Once the site of ancient peoples that pioneered Quinoa cultivation, nowadays the area is considered a place of spirituality and history, not to mention great hiking opportunities. We will break our journey this morning with a visit to a viewpoint surrounded by a sea of salt everywhere you look below, from where we embark on an easy-to-moderate hike to an archaeological site that houses a well-preserved, mummified family.
The afternoon is spent exploring the stunning terrain where salt and petrified coral caves abound amid the white desert landscapes. During the transition from the rainy season, this area offers amazing photographic opportunities thanks to the ‘mirror effect’. Upon returning to your RV Camper, opt to spend some time independently or ride a mountain bike (optional). Alternatively, simply relax with a good book and an exceptional view to remember.
After another awe-inspiring sunset, we'll spend the evening at our RV camp, relaxing under the stars (weather permitting, most of the time, it does).

DAY 3
Following breakfast, we make our way across the Salar, continuing our journey to a site known as Isla Incahuasi (some call it Isla del Pescado). The trip will take us across the seemingly endless salt plains, transitioning into peculiar hexagon-shaped formations. After around 1 hour of driving plus the usual photo stops and a break for lunch, we will hike on a rocky outcrop that rises a few meters above salt level surrounded by giant, picturesque cacti.
The trip ends in the early evening back in Uyuni where we can drop you off at the airport, station or your accommodation of choice. Although this unique RV Camper experience is over, we hope you'll be going home with a head full of memories and stories to share with your friends and family!

Entering the Salar, we will be awed by the otherworldly feeling of being in space or someplace similar, thanks to the surreal ‘mirror effect’ caused by the flooded surface of the salt plains. We keep driving at a safe speed until we get to our picnic spot, just in time for lunch.
The afternoon is spent exploring the stunning terrain where the endless horizon and the sky’s reflection provide unbelievable photo opportunities. Get settled in your RV Camper equipped with all the amenities to make your stay comfortable, warm and safe before sporting rubber boots and heading back out for some amazing photography.
