Day 1
Arrival in Calama
On this tour, we will ride through one of the most inhospitable regions of the Bolivian Altiplano! Departing from Chile (Atacama Desert), we will cross into Bolivia via the Ollague Pass toward Uyuni. During this crossing, we will face altitudes above 4,000 m and ride through incredible locations! The scenery reveals various shades of brown and orange in the mountains, contrasting with the clear blue sky. In the Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat, you will experience riding in a place where the view reaches no end. Located in the Bolivian Altiplano, Uyuni holds incredible landscapes and fun optical illusions. We will have one full day in the Salar, where we will ride to Incahuasi Island, famous for its giant, centuries-old cacti. We continue our journey to our greatest challenge: crossing the Eduardo Avaroa National Park, a desolate and inhospitable place that nevertheless holds surreal landscapes! There will be two days of riding through this region until we reach the Chilean border. We will visit Laguna Colorada, Laguna Verde, Árbol de Piedra, and other regional attractions. During this crossing, we will stay in a hotel/refuge at over 4,600 m altitude, in a region in the middle of nowhere! This tour requires an advanced level of off-road riding and excellent physical conditioning due to the altitude we will face. This is the perfect trip for those seeking adventure, self-improvement, and riding through places few people have dared to challenge! Tour conducted with motorcycles rented in Chile.
The itinerary departs from Atacama toward the Bolivian Altiplano, crossing the Ollague Pass to challenge the vastness of the Salar de Uyuni and Incahuasi Island. The route advances through high-altitude sections and desolate terrain in the Eduardo Avaroa National Park, passing isolated refuges, Laguna Colorada, and Laguna Verde.
