Chile & Bolivia
Pure white salt meets blue sky as far as the eye can see: a truly unforgettable experience. Visit the largest salt flats in the world: Uyuni and Atacama.
Head across the Andes to the Atacama desert and beyond to the Chilean coast or north to the other-worldly Salares de Uyuni, the largest salt flats in the world, in Bolivia. On your Atacama desert tour, you'll enjoy volcanoes, flamingos, and the best stargazing in the southern hemisphere.

Crossing the Andes
Crossing the Andes to the driest desert in the world, the Atacama in northern Chile, is a spectacular journey. We also offer a complete circuit from Salta which takes in some spectacular lagoons and mountain plateau scenery, far away from the crowds in San Pedro de Atacama.
Wonders of the Natural World
On your Bolivian salt flats trip, you will see flamingo-flocked lagoons of myriad colours, spitting geysers, and the oasis-like Isla del Pescado, before arriving at the legendary Bolivian salt flats of Uyuni.
Wine tasting where?!
Tarija in Bolivia contests the claim of highest altitude wine region in the world with its neighbouring Argentine province of Salta. Apart from the classic varieties of Torrontes, Tannat and Syrah, you must also try singani, Bolivia’s version of brandy distilled from white Muscat grapes.
Los Flamencos reserve
The Monjes de La Pacana in the Flamencos natural reserve were formed by volcanic action millions of years ago:they're on the road from Susques to San Pedro de Atacama, close to the Bolivian border.
A word on crossing the border.
The borders with Chile and Bolivia are only a day’s journey from Salta city. There are regular buses to San Pedro de Atacama, and to the border town of La Quiaca, where you can simply walk across the bridge into Bolivia and continue your journey from there.
But if you need us, we’re here to hold your hand, and design your trip, working with the best Bolivia and Atacama tour companies.
We are also exploring new tours into the little known wine region of Bolivia, just a couple of hours north of the border in the delightful valley of Tarija valley.
As well as circuits starting and finishing in Salta, we can also arrange private tours linking San Pedro de Atacama and Uyuni if you are heading further north towards lake Titicaca, La Paz and on to Peru.
