Uyuni Town
Uyuni
The gateway town for salt flat tours. Around the railway station clock tower, the pedestrian street, and the market, you will find travel agencies, restaurants, and guesthouses.
Uyuni sits at about 3,700 meters and grew up in the late 19th century as a railway hub. Its population is just over 10,000. Visitors spend most of their time around the railway station, the clock tower, and Avenida Arce, where many travel agencies are located. You can compare prices and vehicle conditions for day tours, sunset tours, stargazing tours, and three-day southern circuit tours in person. The town has a small archaeology and anthropology museum, an open-air market on Thursdays, and several pizza and roast alpaca restaurants. ATMs often run out of cash, so bring plenty of money in cash. Nights are very cold, so pack warm clothing.
