DAY 03: UYUNI SALT FLAT – DAY 03

We will get up very early to start the walk to the “Sol de la Mañana” geyser field, since the activity is higher during the first hours of the day and only then will we be able to see active geysers, fumaroles and even a small crater with volcanic lava. The trip continues to the hot springs where we can bathe in a pool of natural thermal water. The Polques hot springs can only be visited with the tour to the Salar de Uyuni.
