UYUNI SALT FLAT TOURS 

BUDGET VS LUXURY

With over 90 Tour Operators in Uyuni alone which are selling Uyuni Tours its very hard for travellers to choose the right option, while a visit to the Uyuni Salt Flats should be a highlight of any trip to South Amercia sadly for many it turns into a nightmare. We have all heard of the horror stories of drunk drivers, car crashes, theft on tours, break downs with lack of equipment, 4WDS in terrible conditions, no spare tyres, dirty and unsafe accomodation, tour operators transporting drugs across the border etc

With these horror stories in mind we have created a tour with the best accomodation possible, a zero drinking policy for our guides/drivers, high quality 4WDS with all saftey equipment including Satelite Phones and Oxygen Tanks, excellent guides who are trained mechanics and more. With this in mind you can ensure you tour to the Uyuni Salt Flats runs smoothy so that you can relax and enjoy this world class destination in comfort and saftey.

Another issue with the cheap shared tours is that you are sharing a 4WD with up to six travellers which is not only uncomfortable it is also time constraining meaning the tours are very rushed and you dont have time to really enjoy and take in the surreal ecosystems, wildlife and scenery. While you pay more for the Private tours you have much more comfort and time to really explore the landscapes of the Salt Flats and Eduardo Avaroa National Park.

Other factors which travellers need to consider is the impact bulk tourism has on the environment and infrustructure of the Park, roads and facilities, Wildlife is also disturbed and often due to the tours being rushed rubbish is left by tourists inside the park.Other issues include price wars between Tour Operators which means local guides earn less money for their families.

As more people line up for bulk cheap tours wildlife is often harrassed and can have huge impacts in the future

If you are going to visit the Uyuni Salt Flats once in your life, we recommend that you pay a little extra and get the service and safety which you deserve, think about your decision wisely and hopefully it will make the difference between a nightmare experience or one of the best experiences of your life.
