Important information for traveling to Salar de Uyuni and REA:
Any visit to this region of Bolivia is considered an adventure trip. The beauty of the landscape lives in freedom and harmony with the living beings of the region; However, for visitors the conditions are extreme, the climate is very changing, we spend long hours on the route, the infrastructure is scarce and suffering from "altitude sickness" is very common.
We will be above 3,600 m.s.l.m. with high solar radiation. Therefore, it is necessary to arrive at the trip acclimatized; Eat lightly, don't do very demanding physical activities, rest the previous days in a high city, prevent altitude sickness with coca mate or free-sale pastillas in pharmacies like Sorojchipill. Drink plenty of water.
Don't worry too much, we'll take care of your safety and comfort along the route.
"Don't expect anything from this trip" is our main recommendation. High expectations can ruin the experience, so we just want you to live in the moment. It could be that you lack air, that the food doesn't suit you, that you feel too cold or that you burn in the sun... But, that could also be the case...
So, is it worth taking this trip?... Of course, it's worth every second!!!
