Description
The Andean Altiplano unfolds as you cross from Chile into Bolivia through Ollagüe, one of the highest border crossings in South America. Whether you depart from San Pedro de Atacama or Calama (accommodation or airport), the landscape gradually transforms from desert to high-altitude plains before reaching Uyuni, the gateway to the world's largest salt flat.

The route is direct, with no lunch stop, to minimize total travel time. If you're planning to visit the Uyuni Salt Flats and return, you can book return transfer from Uyuni.
