Uyuni (v.v.) - Salar de Uyuni
private tour with hotel accommodations, 4 days

You will depart around ten on this wonderful tour through the Salar the Uyuni. 
First you will visit the Train Cemetery, and then Colchani, where handicrafts made of salt can be seen, as well as the process of making domestic salt, and the Salt Museum.
Then you will enter the salt flats and you will see Ojos del Salar (eyes of the salt flats); here bubbling gases escape from underneath the salt flat, and Montones de Sal (salt piles).
You will also visit the Salt Hotel and Incahuasi (cactus island), where you can go for a short walk to observe giant cacti and volcanic rocks.
You will spend the night in Tayka Hotel de Sal (Salt Hotel) in Tahua. (If in this hotel there wouldn't be space, and you will spend the night in Tayka Hotel de Piedra in San Pedro de Quemez, the description of the tour is as the description of the 4-days basic tour in group or the basic private tour; see above.)

On the second day of the tour you can walk up the Tunupa Volcano to one of the viewpoints from which you will have an excellent view over the salt flats.
After that you will visit the archaeological site of Chullpares in Coquesa, where you will see pre-Inca mummies. Just outside the village you might spot lamas and maybe also flamingos.
