Vé di động
Begin an unforgettable journey across nearly 12,000 km² (7,500 square miles) of extraordinary landscapes shaped by salt, volcanoes, deserts, and colorful lagoons within the breathtaking Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna Reserve.
The immense white expanse of the Uyuni Salt Flats creates a surreal scenery unlike anywhere else on Earth. During the dry season (May to October), the surface hardens into endless geometric patterns formed naturally by crystalline salt polygons. In the rainy season (November to March), a thin layer of water transforms the Salar into a spectacular natural mirror, perfectly reflecting the sky and creating one of the most mesmerizing landscapes in the world.
Throughout the journey, discover high-altitude deserts, flamingo-filled lagoons, steaming geysers, volcanic landscapes, and remote Andean scenery that make this expedition one of South America’s most unforgettable travel experiences.

A fantastic private experience

5.00We booked a private tour with Joker Expedition. Jose was super responsive and customised everything to our liking. The tour was on the pricier side, but you could clearly tell that you are getting a premium service for the money spent - car, guide, food, accommodation, flexibility, etc. I cannot recommend highly enough.
Memorable Lagoon Expedition

5.00I recently booked a 3N/2D private tour with Joker. Everything was taken care of from start to finish. Our English-speaking guide Oscar was very knowledgeable and was able to speak about everything from Bolivia's history to its flora and fauna. Joker was also able to secure me a room in the Tayka El Desierto (a must for anyone considering a trip into the national park). Finally, Jose was able to answer all questions that I had beforehand over email. Would highly recommend!
Organised & responsive tour organiser, great tour guide for Uyuni, memorable trip

5.00Jose was organised & responsive when we made our booking about 2 weeks before arriving in Uyuni. We had booked the sunset & stargazing private tour and the Uyuni Salt Flats & Lagoons 3 day tour. Both tours were well run and the tour guide and driver were very accomodating, helping us take some beautiful photos and providing options for us when they could. For example, it is the dry season in Uyuni and we were given the option to see reflection for the sunset & stargazing tour so we could experience sunset reflection one evening and on our first day in the 3 days private tour, we also experienced the dry season sunset. We loved the flexibility given by the tour guide & driver, so we had more photo time, skipping point of interest we were not keen to sightsee. Really appreciate the knowledgeable guide, providing great explanation & timing our visits to points of interest with minimal visitors around us & friendly driver and the Joker Expedition end to end organisation behind the scene, especially when I left my drone in the 4WD after the sunset & stargazing private tour and Jose was very responsive after hours to arrange for my drone to be returned the next day. Thank you for making these tours so memorable for us.
A unique experience. Salt flats, lagoons and great scenery

5.00Everything was very well organized. Julia our english spoken guide and Raoul our driver handled everything in perfect way. Me and my wife, we keep very good memories of them. The 2 two salt hotels Tayka de Sal and Tayka El Desierto were pleasant surprises with their style and top quality restaurants. The scenery was unfogeftable.

5.00José and his staff were great from the first pick-up at the Uyuni airport to the last drop-off in La Paz. We spend 3 amazing days with the guide Roger (very easygoing, very knowleadgeable and very good English) and a super professional driver exploring the Salar, the lagunas, the volcan belt and the desert near Chile avoiding the crowds and having the chance to really find a connection with the amazing nature, flora and fauna. I'm vegetarian and every meal was especially prepared with care and taste! The Laguna Salada hotel is amazing and I will cherish forever the aperitivo with a great wine at sunset on the Salar with music played live by Roger.
A wonderful experience. We made the trip in a group of friends in two vehicles with Javier and Abel super helpful

5.00We had a very good time on the 3 Days private tour including Uyuni salt flat and colored lagoons. The tour was very well organized by Jose and he took great care of us while on the 3-day tour, as well as during our time in La Paz. He arranged for an airport pickup in La Paz and a guided tour of the city. The advance communication was clear, prompt, and very helpful. The tour itself was well tailored to our needs and flexible. We were able to make adjustment to the itinerary as we went along considering our specific interests, time, and distances between places. Our English-speaking guide, Oscar, and our driver, Ronal, were very helpful, knowledgeable, reliable, and very pleasant and fun to communicate with. Thank you guys for great Bolivia experience!
Wonderful trip worth the trip to Bolivia

5.00We did a private tour with English guide from Uyuni for 5. It was a wonderful experience. We were incredibly lucky with the weather, which made the trip even more incredible. A trip to the Salar de Uyuni for the rainy season (early January) has been an unreal experience. The feeling in this huge salt desert, which becomes a mirror due to the water, you simply have to experience it yourself. The tour operator has put in an incredible amount of effort. Snacks and drinks were provided. For Breakfast, lunch and dinner was provided at all times. Breakfast on the 3rd. Day could have been a little more in my understanding, but that is complaining at a high level. Our guide, Elsa, put in an incredible amount of effort. She inspired me a lot of background knowledge. She also captured the experiences with a good eye for detail. Our driver Rodrigo was also great. He was driving carefully and prudently. I still felt safe at all times.
The Absolutely beauty

5.00There is no other place on earth quite as wonderful and exquisite as the Salar de Uyuni Bolivia. In fact We were in-love with La Paz Bolivia. It’s a perfect combination of modern with a twist of traditional. There is no place like Salar de Uyuni (salt flats) they’re the biggest on earth, and you can tell easily tell the difference the moment you arrive here compare to other salt flats. I believe that one should make an effort to come here and experience What Bolivia has to offer.
