DAY 1 – Uyuni – Pulacayo – Colchani – Salt Flats – Thunupa Volcano – Coqueza
You will need to meet with the guide at the local office in Uyuni at 9.30 am to try your gear and get the motorcycle ready to go. After setting off from Uyuni we will ride towards an old village called Pulacayo where we will stop to learn about the history of its ancient mining center. From here we return to Uyuni to have lunch. After eating we will head towards Colchani where we can learn about the salt processing and have a chance to buy some souvenirs made completely from salt. We then head to the salt flats themselves and ride across the great white desert toward Coqueza town where we can see Volcano Thunupa towering above us. After a short tea/coffee break we walk down to the edge of the salar to see the llamas and flamingos and take photos of the sunset. We will spend the night in a local accommodation run by a welcoming local family.
DAY 2 – Viewpoint – Chantani – Incahuasi Island – Train Cemetery – Uyuni
Today we will wake up early, have breakfast and then we will make our way up the volcano to see the mommies tomb and the 1300 years+ old mommies and also visit a viewpoint to look back over the amazing scenery. Later we set out to ride once again on the salt flats, stopping along the way at the villages of Chantani and Tahua to visit a museum and a sculpture garden. Once we reach the salt flats we will visit Isla Incahuasi where we can explore and see the giant cacti which sometimes reach over 10 meters tall. There are wonderful views of the salt desert from here and also you can buy lunch in the restaurant "Mongos" located on the island. After lunch we explore the salt flats some more with lots of chance to take photos. The last stop will be at the train cemetery where we will stop to see the old abandoned trains and take some photos. We will return to Uyuni in the afternoon at a convenient time for your group (times vary depending on the group, usually around 16.30/17.30, in time if you have a night bus or a late flight back to La Paz on the same day).
