Overview
Highlights
- If you've ever dreamt of walking on water (well, at least on a lake), this is your chance. cross the epic white expanse of bolivia's salt lakes in a 4wd with a local guide
- You know those trippy photos of tiny travellers standing on spoons and skateboards? they were probably taken on the salar de uyuni. so get snap-happy and start bending some perspectives. remember, there is no spoon...
- Where does a train go when it dies? to a graveyard of course! pay your respects to the rusty, abandoned trains at uyuni's eerie train cemetery
- Step inside a surrealist painting as you explore the rocky isla wasi. rising out of the salt pans and covered with giant cacti, this is not your run-of-the-mill island. it is way cooler

Itinerary
Touch down in lovely, but dizzying, La Paz. Dizzying because it sits at a spectacular 3,660 metres above sea level. Perched on the edge of a canyon and backed by the looming Mount Illimani, La Paz makes sipping a cup of Bolivian tea a jaw-dropping experience. Today is...
This morning you will take an unescorted flight from La Paz to Uyuni. The flight time will be advised at your evening meeting on Day 1. In Uyuni you will be met by another local representative who will accompany you for the duration of the Salt Flats tour. The remote...
This morning you'll take an included flight back to La Paz airport, where sadly your adventure comes to an end. If you are booking a departure flight from La Paz for the last day please ensure it's no earlier than 2pm. Alternatively if you wish to fly out earlier plea...

Tour Operator
At Geckos we’ve taken the dorkiness out of group travel. You’ll snack on the tastiest grub, hang out with people your own age (18-29) and clamber aboard public transport, sleep in family run places, see stuff other tourists never knew existed and have plenty of free time along the way.
We tread lightly, think local and make sure our trips are helping not hindering the places we visit. Plus, our local leaders are rad humans.
If you’ve got an open mind, a sense of adventure and are willing to step outside your comfort zone then you’ll fit right in. We’re for travellers who aren’t afraid to order off the local menu, jump in a tuk-tuk or take a punt on a new friend.
We reckon everyone should be able to see this great world, so we make sure our trips don’t cost the earth (literally and metaphorically). We make sure you see more awesome stuff, stay in more awesome places and eat more awesome things for your hard earned dollar.
We’ve done all the hard haggling for you, and because you’re travelling with a gang of friends, the cost is shared. We love you and we want to take you on the trip of a lifetime, whatever your budget.
When you’re travelling with a small group, you’ll get to know your gang of fellow travellers pretty well. Which means you’ll head home with a whole lot of new BFFs, rather than a hundred strange Facebook friend requests.
That’s why we based our Geckos symbol on the Native American crossed arrows. It means friendship. And we are totally down for making new friends.
Our guides are locals and our lodgings are locally owned, keeping profits and skills in the communities. We offset our carbon emissions; we don’t shirk the responsibility by passing the buck to our travellers. And we’ve set up a bunch of community and climate projects, which anyone can get involved in.
Geckos Adventures is committed to investing in the local communities we visit. To ensure we are offering adequate support to a variety of projects, Geckos has partnered with The Intrepid Foundation. Through this partnership, we can offer our travellers a more substantial base for donation and a greater selection of projects to support.
