Uyuni salt flats tour in Bolivia

Planet

Carbon reduction
Our tours visit important sites dedicated to the conservation of nature and indigenous territories. Transport to visit the Uyuni Salt Flat and Avaroa Reserve for this tour is shared. We use we use medium-sized 4x4 vehicles for these 3 day-2 night.
To avoid further impacts, we recommend our tourist to travel without leaving foot marks, especially when visiting Isla Incahuasi (walking among giant catus), visiting Laguna Colorada and Laguna Verde, and when observing Andean wildlife such as vicuñas, llamas, alpacas, and the suri or Andean rhea.

Environment and wildlife
Most of the hostels use solar panels to pump water and generate electricity, and natural gas is used for kitchen and hot showers. Solid waste is collected and subsequently removed from Salt Lake and Avaroa Reserve.
In our tours, wildlife and wilderness come first. No touching, disturbing or feeding wild animals to facilitate photography or at any time. The fundamental concept of tourism services is that visitors should observe wildlife in its element, which results in a true genuine experience when visiting pristine nature in a more respectful manner and respecting the fragile ecology.

Our tours do not visit sites that are still refuges for species highly threatened by extinction like in some locations in Lake Titicaca. Even more to ensure any negative impact of visitation, our groups are usually less than 10 people, and no more than 12.
In the Uyuni Salt Flat, for transportation, we use vehicles for 4 to 5 people to avoid impacting in the incredibly beautiful landscape of this unique nature attraction.

Local economy
Our tours take travelers to three of the top and most iconic destinations in Bolivia like Lake Titicaca, Madidi National Park and the Uyuni Salt Flat, where tourism is the most important and sustainable economy all year round. As tour operators we are committed with the sound touristic development of these regions.

Employment, inclusivity and diversity
Our guides and drivers are natives who live in Uyuni or surrounding areas. Supporting local families is our business commitment towards economic and social sustainability, made possible through responsible tourism. The female workforce is important in operations in hotels or lodges and services in all destinations we travel, therefore, we are also committed to fully support this.
In Uyuni area, for more than two decades we have been generating employment opportunities for 10 heads of households, including men, women, and young people from the whole area of Uyuni, which most of them are Quechua speakers. The impact of employment benefits a minimum of 30 people. Our tours involve community members include routines that promote education and cultural exchange. These communities, have unique traditions and are threatened by cultural extinction. We consider that tourism is perhaps the best alternative for the long-term cultural and economic survival of these communities.
