SATISFIED CUSTOMERS
"My personal favorite part of the tour was the “rock tree” stop. Although the altitude was so high and it was harder to breathe, we had so much fun climbing the volcanic rock and gazing at the incredible formations."
Miranda
"I was in awe of the geysers! I couldn’t believe how up close and personal we were able to get to them. It was something you’d never be able to experience in The States. But, prepare yourself because the volcanic smell can be a bit overwhelming."
Britt
"The Train Graveyard was like a childhood dream come true! I felt like I was in a creepy version of The Polar Express as I climbed through the train cars. I would recommend ditching the front and heading straight to the “caboose” of the trains. You’ll find a lot of colorful, interesting graffiti cars back there. We even found one with the full Mayan Calendar painted on it."
Becca
You must go!! We had the best time with our tour guide. He took the best photos and knew all the spots where the reflection on the water was just perfect! Ask your guides for tips on photography, they have so much experience!
Rebekah
We did the 3-day tour and I highly recommend it! Seeing the Bolivian landscape from mountains, to hot springs, llamas and flamingos was absolutely worth it!
Amaris
“Salt of the World Guided Tours helped us organize our honeymoon a few years ago and it was better than anything we could have imagined. We’ve been using their travel agency services to organize all our trips ever since!”
Diana
I highly recommend this tour company! The guides are so kind and make sure you have the best experience. The tour group makes sure you have everything you need! The meals were amazing and we even had our own AUX cord in the car to play our favorite music!
Mary Claire
The salt flats were UNREAL. I felt like I was walking on the moon. It is a must see for everybody. There is no way you can come to Bolivia and not see them!
Morgan
Our guide was incredible. He knew so many fun facts about each place we visited. Don’t forget to wear sunscreen! The sun really heats up the Salt Flats in the day and it is so easy to get sunburned!
