At around 10:30 PM, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in Uyuni City and set off on a private journey to the vast Salar de Uyuni, a 45-minute drive away. Upon arrival, prepare to be captivated by one of the world’s most breathtaking celestial displays. Far from city lights, the salt flats provide the perfect setting for stargazing, allowing you to observe the Milky Way, constellations, planets, and even distant nebulas with unparalleled clarity.

Take your time to immerse yourself in this magical experience—capture stunning night photography, marvel at the reflection of the sky on the salt flat’s surface (during the rainy season), and enjoy the peaceful silence of this otherworldly landscape. Thanks to Uyuni’s high altitude, arid climate, and minimal light pollution, the sky remains incredibly clear, offering a stargazing experience like no other.

After soaking in the mesmerizing views, we’ll begin our return journey to Uyuni, arriving back at your hotel around 1:30 AM, leaving you with unforgettable memories of this unique astronomical adventure.
