Step into a world of celestial beauty with our Starlights & Sunrise Experience in the Uyuni Salt Flats. Departing from Uyuni city at 3:30 AM, journey deep into the vast salt flats, where your Nomadex local guide will lead you to the perfect stargazing spot. With minimal light pollution, the night sky unfolds in all its splendor, revealing dazzling constellations and the ethereal glow of the Milky Way—a breathtaking sight that blurs the line between earth and sky.

As dawn approaches, prepare for an unforgettable spectacle. The first rays of sunlight ignite the horizon, painting the salt flats in mesmerizing hues of gold, pink, and violet. During the rainy season, a thin layer of water transforms the landscape into a giant natural mirror, reflecting the sky in a surreal display of color. This dreamlike setting offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture extraordinary photographs and videos—the ultimate Instagram moment.

To ensure your comfort, we provide waterproof wellies, allowing you to fully experience the mirror effect without worry. Sip on a hot cup of coffee as you soak in the peaceful magic of this otherworldly setting. After witnessing one of the most awe-inspiring sunrises on the planet, we return to Uyuni around 7:30 AM, leaving you with unforgettable memories of this celestial adventure.

Please Note:
● Full moon nights may reduce stargazing visibility due to increased brightness. Check the 2025 moon phases here
● 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.
