Sorry! There are no remaining departures for "Bolivia Express: Salt Flats & Desert Landscapes" (SBSF), but here are some similar trips.
A trip to Bolivia isn't complete without a visit to the Salar de Uyuni and this five-day tour gets you there quickly and efficiently. With a flight to the flats, you'll have more time to explore the incredible landscapes and desert scenery that surrounds it. Gain a true appreciation for the region by staying overnight in a community-owned salt lodge complete with salt floors and furniture. It's the best way to cross this destination off your bucket list.
