Uyuni Hostels - Reviews and Rates

Finally we arrived in Uyuni to visit Salar de Uyuni. After the incredibly bumpy 3 day drive to get there we were hoping that they would prove to be as specacular as we had been told and we weren't dissappointed. As an added bonus our hotel had the best shower in Bolivia and great pizza and apple pie. Thankfully the altitude wasn't causing us any...

After we got back from Peregirapampa, which was I think when I last wrote, Toni and I went to Uyuni. This is probably the most famous place to go in Bolivia. We signed up for a three day tour of the salt flats and coloured lakes. Early in the morning, we hopped in a jeep with a couple from Spain, who didnīt speak English, and two guys from Japan...

Wow - what an amazing few days - !!

A fantastic tour despite our tour guide being an alcoholic and sleeping at the wheel! LOL! It was exhausting but worth it... such a great variety of natural wonders...so here is what we did...

Day one, we set off at about 11, there were 2 korean ladies, 2 brits and an ozzie... at teh end of the d...

After our misadventures in Potosi, the three of us decided to stick together and travel onto Uyuni. We opted for the 6.30pm bus and were assured the journey would only take 4 or 5 hours. After travelling along one of the bumpiest roads imaginable for some "eight" hours, our bus finally limped into Uyuni gone 3am in the morning. Someone was sligh...

Had a great 3 days 4x4 trip though the Bolivian desert and salt flats from San Pedro to Uyuni. Loads of cool things like Gueysers, Hot thermal pools you can swim in, lakes, flamingoes, salt flats etc.....

There did seem to be no roads though just a track.. The driver (Walter) did at one point when driving accross the desert said... Oh Iīv...

We arrived early morning in Uyuni, and were greeted by sub-zero temperatures. As Uyuni is renown for this, we wanted to minimise our time there and jump straight on a tour out to the salt flats that morning. We were lucky to have caught the bus from La Paz with Erica, Phil and Guy (other Aussies who were meeting up with an Austrian mate of their...

We took a morning bus to Oruro, not the cleanest bus as it had old chicken bones staring us in the face in the pockets in front of us, but comfy enough. We passed dummies hung up on poles along one street which was very strange. Graffiti on walls informed us Sucre was racist and that Bolivia doesn't get U.S. aid. Interesting....

this is a stub that i will later fill out about how i went 1200 km in a 4x4 through harsh desert terrain staying in hotels made of salt and no electricity with a czech guy, 2 french girls, a camp cook named lupe-lu and a 30 yr old driver who loves soft rock from 1984. Since the photos take longest to get up, I will fill in the details later

Vergeet alle keren dat we gezegd hebben dat iets mooi, super, geweldig of prachtig was, met uitzondering van Iguazu en Porito Moreno misschien. Het gebied tussen San Pedro de Atacama (Chili) en Uyuni (Bolivia) is zo verschrikkelijk mooi, dat er geen andere conclusie te trekken valt dat de hemel zich gewoon op aarde bevindt. De Atacama woestijn i...

Our arrival from the 4WD trip into Uyuni left us feeling quite knackered, plus the lack of any shower over the preceding days left us smelly too. A good hotel was called for, and we got it in the form of Hotel Tonito, recommended by our guide book, and a former stopping point for my brother Uttam, when he visited this region back in 2007. The ho...
