Itinerary
- We’ll begin this magical experience with a pickup from your hotel or meeting point in Uyuni at 3:00 a.m., when the sky is still filled with stars. Aboard our 4×4 vehicle, we’ll head into the heart of the Salar de Uyuni, the perfect place to witness one of the most breathtaking natural spectacles on the planet.
- During the journey, we’ll enjoy the silence of the white desert and the starry sky reflected on the surface of the salt flat. You’ll have time to admire, photograph, and marvel at the Milky Way, the constellations of the southern hemisphere, and the endless reflections of the night sky on the water.
- Shortly before dawn, we’ll position ourselves at a strategic spot to watch the sun rise over the Altiplano horizon. The sky will be painted in shades of gold, pink, and violet, while the landscape transforms into a mirror of light. A truly unique and unforgettable moment.
- The best time to enjoy the mirror effect is during the rainy season ( January through March), when a thin layer of water covers the salt flat and turns the ground into a perfect reflection of the sky.
After this incredible sunrise, we will slowly return to Uyuni, arriving around 7:00 a.m. The service includes a final transfer to your hotel, the airport, or the bus station, depending on your preference.
