Please Note:
● The mirror effect can be seen year-round when a thin layer of water enhances the salt flats’ reflective surface. However, after the dry season (typically September to November), water levels may decrease depending on weather conditions.
● Full moon nights may reduce stargazing visibility due to increased brightness. Check the 2025 moon phases here.

We had a wonderful experience on the sunset tour. Everything was very well organized, from the pickup to the activities. The views were stunning, and the whole experience was smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
It was an amazing experience. The sunset at the Uyuni Salt Flats was absolutely breathtaking, with incredible landscapes and beautiful colors. Everything was very well organized and the guide was very friendly. I highly recommend this tour.
Omar our driver and guide really make our trip a memorable one. Highly recommended
Our guide did a great job of giving my family and I a special time out on the Uyuni salt flats. Unfortunately I left my expensive tripod in the vehicle and didn’t realize this until early the next morning as I was packing to catch a flight. Efrain was kind enough to drop it off at the Hotel that I was staying at. I’m very happy with the experience and the responsiveness of the staff. It was definitely worth the money.
We are lucky to see the good reflection.
Quite nice. Took a lot of pictures though the weather was not so good.
Excelente tour! Muy bien organizado y con una experiencia increíble de principio a fin, el sunset simplemente mágico, los colores y la energía del Salar de Uyuni hicieron que nuestra experiencia sea inolvidable. Gracias Nomadex!

Magnifique, les étoiles, le levé de soleil, Roberto de Nomadex était vraiment très bien
he Sunset Tour was an unforgettable experience. Watching the sun slowly set on the horizon, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink, was simply magical. The peaceful atmosphere, combined with warm hospitality and a perfect setting, made this experience truly unique.
Todo estuvo espectacular, superó mis expectativas , el Guia Robert nos tomó fotos impresionantes y ni que decir de los videos increíbles. Unió a todo el grupo e hizo del atardecer un día especial e inolvidable
It was a fantastic experience, I really enjoyed it. Truly recommended, the Nomadex team was very profesional, they took nice photos.
Roberto is a very great guide! He is patient, considerate, and really works hard to fulfill everyone’s needs.
We got to change our trip to a sunset trip instead because we arrived very late in Uyuni, which was very kind of them. Our guide spoke english but was super kind and smiling. All in all a great trip!
