Important Notes About Going from Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama
Please note that in order to reserve this tour, we need to pay the operator immediately, so all bookings are final. If you have any questions before booking or want to confirm a certain date, please email us at info@keteka.com.
The exact itinerary is subject to change with weather – the weather around the salt flats is mostly pretty consistent, but when it rains or snows, it can dramatically change what is available during the trip
Please note that they generally do not have food in Uyuni that accommodates gluten-free diets
The road conditions around the flats are quite bad, but the tour uses 4W trucks that can handle it; the trucks are not new but they are kept in good shape and consistently maintained
We highly recommend you get travel insurance before this trip – between crossing an international border and the weather, there are lots of unpredictable factors that could affect the trip
Winter (May – August): chances of snow, with overnight temperatures reaching about -25° C (-13° F)
Rest of the year (September – April): temperatures reaching about 5° C (41° F) at night
Cancellation policy: We must pay the hotels to secure the reservation, so 80% of the payment is final; the booking can be cancelled for a 20% refund up to two weeks before the start of the tour.
