This tour is yet to be finalised, but you can already pre-enroll and we’ll keep you updated. The price and final dates need to be confirmed for 2026. The 2023 and 2024 sold out quickly, so make sure you get on the list to secure a seat on the trip.

This exciting tour takes you to the Altiplano / Atacama desert and the Uyuni salt flats.

The Altiplano is a place of superlatives. A landscape of fire and ice. It is where the South American Andes are at their widest and it is the most extensive area of high plateau on earth outside of Tibet. It also holds the world’s highest lake, Titicaca, and the largest salt flat, Salar de Uyuni, at an elevation of 3,656 meters.

The Atacama Desert is an incredibly stunning region. It is the driest and the oldest desert on earth and has experienced extreme hyper aridity for at least 3 million years, making it the oldest continuously arid region on earth.

At night both the Atacama and the Altiplano are amazing locations to do some astrophotography as the clarity of the air is just superb. At this time of the year, the flats are likely to have a combination of areas that are filled with water (reflections!), and areas that are not, which will give us the best of both worlds!

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

  • Witness a landscape of ice and fire, the Altiplano is a place of superlatives. It’s where the South American Andes are at their widest and it is the most extensive area of high plateau on Earth outside of Tibet.
  • Photograph the world’s largest salt flat, Salar de Uyuni in the Altiplano.
  • Visit the Atacama Desert, without a doubt one of the most stunning regions we have ever been to, anywhere in the world. It is the driest and the oldest desert on earth, and has experienced extreme hyperaridity for at least 3 million years, making it the oldest continuously arid region on earth.
  • Capture Licancabur Volcano, an active stratovolcano that can be seen from San Pedro and along the route to Uyuni. Liancabur has an impressive symmetric shape with constant 30 degrees slopes that we will be able to photograph from many different places, from both in Chile and Bolivia.
