Exploration Path
We drive up to a plain with queñoas and llareta moss. This particular type of vegetation grows in high areas, contrasting with the immutable horizon of the salt flat. There will be views to the Tunupa Volcano and the Uyuni Salt Flat while we wander through scarce woods. Several birds follow along.

Exploration Path
This exploration tours small villages that are relatively isolated because they are bordering the salt flat. We begin the tour from the Tajamari River to arrive in Guajala, a farming area with irrigation channels. We then travel to Caquena, a village we can tour and appreciate an Andean ranching. We will also visit a small school in Chiltaico.

We drive to the Uyuni Salt Flat to watch the sunrise (“inti” in Quechua language). The amazing changes in the light cover the immensity of the landscape, and gradually, the temperature rises with the sun, transforming it in a unique experience.

Exploration Path
We drive to the Uyuni Salt Flat to see the sunset and then the moonrise (“killa” in Quechua language). The light changes in intensity through the white ocean under our feet, and the sky lightens up in reddish tones. During full moon, the sunset can be seen to the west while the moon rises to the east.
