For a destination like the Salar, it's all year round. But the best time to do so is from November to March, when it's the rainy season, where the salt flat is submerged in water and you can take the famous perspective photos.
The nearest airport to access the Bolivian highlands is El Alto International Airport in La Paz, which is connected to several other cities in South America, as well as North American hubs such as Miami. In which you can connect the population of Uyuni and for those who wish to travel by land, buses leave from the bus terminal in the city of La Paz, they travel all night and arrive in the town in the early hours of the morning.
Activities that can be enjoyed in Uyuni include visiting the salt sea and its islands, taking a sightseeing tour, mountain biking and trekking, experiencing geothermal activity, paragliding and hot air balloon rides and visiting nearby colonial towns. And as a finishing touch, a spectacular sunset or sunset on the salt flat.
Although visitors are not directly exposed to many health risks while exploring the area, they may suffer mild symptoms related to altitude sickness due to the extreme elevations reaching 3,656 meters above sea level in some parts of the area, so it is important for visitors to understand this risk before traveling there.
