The more days, the farther we go and the more time there is to stop wherever the landscape asks.
You choose the pace: an early start for the light of dawn, or a late start and a long, unhurried table on the salt.
The itinerary is always tailor-made.
- Nights on the salt flatThe Palacio de Sal and the Luna Salada are the salt hotels we propose.
See the details
In both, the room is private, with a bathroom, hot water and heating, which helps when night falls above 3,600 m.
Availability changes with the date, which is why we check it before sending you the proposal. The salt hotel is chosen to fit the itinerary.
- Eating well in the middle of the saltOur cook travels with the group, plans the menus and serves the gourmet lunch right on the salt flat: the table set on the salt, with white all the way to the horizon.
- Safety and altitudeThe vehicle is a private 4x4 for a maximum of 4 passengers, with a satellite phone, GPS, oxygen and pulse oximeter on board, and with our full safety protocol.

The equipment available depends on the tour.
Part of the route climbs to close to 5,000 m. That is why the team monitors the group's pace and acclimatization. On nights at altitude, the lodging is chosen to fit the itinerary.

Before you book: payment, cancellation and the unexpected
Payment and booking
When you book, you pay 30% of the total: 15% as a booking payment (arras, non-refundable) and 15% as a deposit. Then a second deposit of 20% 30 days before departure and the remaining 50% 7 days before departure. If you book 15 days or less before departure, you pay 100% of the total when you book and it is non-refundable. If a payment does not arrive by its due date, the booking is cancelled automatically. You can pay in foreign currency with Libélula, RedEnlace and Revolut, or by bank card, QR code or bank transfer; the payment provider may charge transaction fees.
Cancellation and date changes
More than 45 days before departure: 100% of the deposit (15%) is refunded, less bank fees for the money transfer; the booking payment (arras) is not refunded. From 45 to 31 days: 50% of the deposit is retained, which corresponds to the pre-payment of lodging, transfers or others. From 30 to 8 days: 100% of what you paid is retained. From 7 days to 24 hours: everything you paid is retained. Less than 24 hours, and in case of a no-show: the full price is due. Date change: possible depending on the availability of the company and of our providers, with a new quote; sums already paid to providers are not refundable and must be paid again. If Terra Alta cancels or postpones the trip, you choose a new date at no extra cost or a refund of what you paid, except costs already paid to providers that cannot be recovered.
Prices
Prices are in US dollars per person, based on a group of 6 people, in a shared departure.
Blockades, closed roads and weather
A flooded salt flat (roughly December to April) is not a reason to cancel: the tour goes ahead with an itinerary adapted by the guide, with the mirror effect, and Incahuasi island may not be reachable; no refund is due for the visits that change. If a dangerous external event (a storm, heavy snowfall or another natural event) or social unrest or a blockade requires it, Terra Alta may modify, postpone or cancel the trip to protect travellers; what applies is what is provided for a cancellation by Terra Alta.
Tips and expenses
Tips are not included and are voluntary. Entrance fees listed in bolivianos are approximate and may change; they are paid on site, in cash.
Insurance
Terra Alta does not include travel insurance. If you wish, we recommend taking out a policy with medical assistance and repatriation from high altitude.
