Private 3 Days tour Uyuni Salt Flats and Colorful Lagoons from Uyuni
Overview
Begin an unforgettable trip through almost 7, 500 square miles (12, 000 km²) of fantastic landscapes of salt and surrealist landscapes of deserts and colored lagoons of the Eduardo Avaroa Reserve. The dazzling white mantle of the Salar de Uyuni resembles an immense glacier. In winter (dry season from May to October), when the surface hardens, geometric figures formed by the salt particles agglomerated into polygons appear. In summer (rainy season from November to March) the salt desert is transformed into a giant mirror that blends into the sky of the purest blue you've ever seen before.

Absolutely Brilliant Trip! From booking to end of trip, everything exceeded our expectations. Jose was attentive and always (always on WhatsApp) willing to answer our questions to help tailor our trip. The price was extremely competitive (I inquired a lot before booking). We had trouble sourcing bolivianos to cross the border and he was extremely helpful with this. Then our driver and guide Al and Silvio were wonderful. Silvio’s car was clean, comfortable, well stocked and his driving was mind boggling efficient. Al had bottomless knowledge and his joviality and professionalism and photography was very much appreciated. From pickup at the border to the end of the trip the two of them ensures we were well looked after! Their singing, anecdotes and attentiveness was top notch. We suffered from altitude sickness and the two of them went above and beyond to ensure we improved. Al suggested things not on the itinerary that we might enjoy doing and also he was an endless spring of knowledge (we especially appreciated all the animal trivia and sightings! All in all Joker expedition should be on anyone’s list for a trip in the region. The whole team is brilliant. Words are not enough to express how much we appreciates their work. Brilliant!Tung H

Jose and his team, especially Alvaro - the guide are the best in town. Firstly, I contacted some of well-know agencies in Uyuni and based on the replies, I chose Joker Expedition to be the operator for my 3 days tour in Uyuni salt flat and Lagoons. The first day we arrive in Uyuni at 7am, Jose already prepared the room for resting and shower and even breakfast in his nice Atipax hotel (the other agencies will greet you and bring you to some places for waiting only). Then we started the tour with Alvaro - great English skilled guide with lot of knowledge in our journey. He and mr Driver always chose the time perfectly in each stop for us to have all the place alone for 30-45 minutes so we could take the photos. The car was very new and was taken care by mr Driver, we had the oxygen tank onboard which helped another sick guest we met on the way on the 3rd day (that agency didn’t prepare the oxygen tank on their car). And after we arrived back to Uyuni, a room in Atipax hotel was already for us until we departed to bus station. Perfect trip that we had!PatriciaV2315
