Your adventure begins at 4:30 PM at our Nomadex Office in Uyuni city, or we can pick you up from your hotel upon request. From there, embark on a scenic drive to the vast Uyuni Salt Flats, where nature puts on an unforgettable show. As the sun sets, watch the sky transform into a canvas of vibrant colors, capturing the stunning optical illusions created by the endless white salt. Once darkness falls, prepare to be mesmerized as the Milky Way unveils itself in one of the clearest night skies on Earth, offering an extraordinary opportunity for breathtaking starlit photography.

For your comfort, we provide waterproof wellies, allowing you to fully enjoy the mirror effect without worry. As you soak in the beauty of the night sky, sip on hot coffee to stay warm and savor the peaceful magic of the salt flats. Before returning to Uyuni around 8:30 PM, take advantage of this perfect moment to capture surreal reflections in this dreamlike setting.

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.
