Watch the sun rise over the world's largest salt flat. Private 4WD tour departing at 5:00 AM from Uyuni. English-speaking guide included. Book now.
There are sunrises, and then there is this one.
At 3,650 meters above sea level, the Salar de Uyuni stretches across 10,582 square kilometers of blinding white salt — the largest mirror on Earth. As the first light breaks over the Andes, the entire surface transforms: pink, then gold, then a brilliant white that seems to go on forever. On clear mornings during the wet season, a thin layer of water turns the flats into a perfect reflection of the sky, making it nearly impossible to tell where the ground ends and the heavens begin.
This is the Uyuni Sunrise Tour — one of the most spectacular natural experiences in South America.
Temperatures at 5:00 AM on the Salar de Uyuni regularly drop to -5°C to -10°C (23°F to 14°F), even during summer months. Warm layers are essential.
