    My flight tickets had been sent to me well ahead of time. My driver met me at the hotel and took me to the airport, a driver was waiting for me in Uyuni, and the tour was waiting for me to get started. The tour covered everything in the itinerary and we had perfect conditions for the Salt Flats. We stayed in hostels and the one was as bare minimum as you could get. No electricity, no running water, no wifi but they did have a lovely hot spring to soak in. Nothing wrong with going off the grid although the workers at that hostel were horrible and angry and very negative towards us (it was very odd).

    Save yourself the headache of two overnight buses and take this air-expedetion to Uyuni which includes a round-trip flight! It's more than worth it!

    We had an excellent driver who took care to make sure we were comfortable and gave us plenty of time to stretch our legs. Our guide was very well-informed and comical. We saw some incredible natural wonders in the desert and overall loved the trip!

    Our guide spoke perfect English and was able to explain everything about the Bolivian desert with expertise. You could tell he had a lot of experience and loved his job! At times it was rough going, long drives to reach the sites, but incredible and worthwhile. We look back at our photos and remember the great times we had!

    We took the return flight from La Paz to Uyuni and joined right up with our group on day 1 to see the salt flats. They were striking and we took some incredible photos. Then we continued to the desert to see rock formations, flamingos, colored lakes and more. It was a rustic but unique trip. We loved it!

    We made a great use of our time by flying to Uyuni for the 3-day salt flats tour. We saw rock formations, stunning desert landscapes, red and green lakes, flamingos and soaked in hot springs. We couldn't ask for more!

    Bamba was very helpful in organizing our return flights from La Paz to Uyuni which was much better than taking a nightbus as many people do. For us it was worth spending a little extra for the comfort of flying. Uyuni and the desert was indescribably breathtaking!

    You have to take a tour to do this trip, there's no way to rent a 4x4 on your own, but we had good luck booking with Bamba. The route was long and dusty but beautiful with spectacular scenery. We had time to take photos and our guide was well informed. It was very interesting!
