Tips for Adventure

Photos to Local

Always ask permission before photographing people, especially women in skirts.

Cash

Carry enough cash in Bolivianos. Many places do not accept cards and ATMs are scarce.

Altitude Sickness (Soroche)

Uyuni is at 3,670m. Drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol the first day and drink coca tea.

Sun Protection

The sun's reflection on salt is blinding and burns the skin quickly. Wear category 4 sunglasses and high-grade sunscreen.
