Salar de Uyuni Bolivia Photography Trip 6 Day Landscape & Nightscape Photography Adventure

We have organized a fascinating itinerary for the most suggestive locations of Salar and inside the “Eduardo Avaroa” National Park, colorful lakes, volcanoes, geysers, deserts, stones valleys and a lot of Andean wildlife for an unforgettable experience. We will visit the Salar de Uyuni in the season of reflections, where it becomes in the largest natural mirror in the world with 12 000 km2. We will have 2 nights at Salar de Uyuni or Salt Flat. We will take pictures at sunset, sunrise, and magic night tours over the Salar to capture the “birth” of the Milky Way on the horizon. Not only that, but we will arrive near to the Chilean border on our 4×4 off-road trucks with our staff who knows the most iconic and hidden places at perfect times to have the best light.
The idea behind this special tour is to have drivers aware of your needs, leaving early in the morning to catch the best light, and knowing that they will reach the accommodation for the overnight after the last sunrays left in the evening. The drivers will also be aware that during your tour they will be asked to stop wherever you want.
There is no doubt that you will take nice pictures while visiting the region, even if you share your vehicle with travelers which are not really interested in Photography. But depending on the importance you give to this activity, you might feel a little stressed when other passengers are already waiting in the vehicle, and you still want to try out some different angles or settings.
Uyuni Salt Flat in Bolivia is referred to as the ‘world’s largest mirror’ because the 130-kilometer area is so large and flat that, after a rain, it becomes highly reflective:
