How does the current protest affect this?

Currently, social protests continue and tours are not operating normally. We regret to inform you that the difficult situation persists throughout Bolivia.

Could you please confirm the starting time for this tour?

This tour begins on January 11th with pickup from your hotel in La Paz at 8 pm, and we'll then begin our journey to Uyuni. If you have any other questions, I'd be more than happy to assist you.

The pickup point is the hotel in La Paz? Any specific location? Any recommendation where to stay? The end point is Calle caracoles san pedro de atacama. How far is it from the airport? Is the airport SCPE (San Pedro de Atacama Airport)? And how to get to airport? Can you advise the typical price?

Pickup will be from your preferred hotel in La Paz. There are no specific drop-off points; you can select your preferred hotel. Drop-off in Atacama is on the main street. From there, you can take a taxi to the nearest airport, Calama. The trip takes approximately 1.5 hours. We don't know the fares because it's a different country.

Can you advice me the nearest airport to the drop off point in Atacama? And best way to get there? I need to fly to Santiago.

The closest airport for traveling to Santiago from Atacama is Calama. The best way to get to Calama from Atacama is by taxi, which you can take in Atacama.

Would it be possible to start the tour from the Uyuni bus station on 26th April, please? Would there be a difference in price, given that we have our own bus tickets? Are the hostels group or private rooms? If private rooms are available, what would be the extra cost?

As per your request, I'm sorry to inform you that we cannot make the modification you requested for this tour. As stated in the description, this tour is sold as a whole; I cannot split any part of it.

Could the operator please advise if I need to pack hiking boots/walking poles/thermal attire etc. As I will be visiting 3 other countries prior to this trip, I need to make the best use of luggage space.

You need to bring warm clothing, comfortable shoes for short walks, sunglasses, sunscreen, swimwear and personal hygiene items.

Buyer Beware! We booked this well in advance, and before booking our flights to Bolivia - the only reason we went. They cancelled on us 48 hours before the tour stating one line NO FLIGHTS. They provided no options, no explanation other than they did not book flight in advance and now none were available. They the proceeded to LIE about this to Viator, stating flight was cancelled to avoid responsibility. I have the ENTIRE thing in writing to prove my honesty on the matter. I would not trust them to deliver on the contract you make with a purchase.Show more

I have to start off by mentioning the tour sightseeing was really good and jampacked, the tour drivers and guide were a great group of lads that were also having fun! Which was pleasing to see. I would highlight in your advertising the fact the tour was a 3 day 4 wheel drive trek over the desert on top of the Andes mountains! This was a massive highlight for me as a big part of the experience. The accommodation and food is where the tour let its self down. The accommodation was poor for the year 2025. The least you expect it toilet paper! I can handle no WIFI and even limited electricity and no hot water for a few days but no toilet paper, come on! So if you like your comfort this trip is not for you. Food was really basic and doesnt cater for everyone, so be warned.Show more
