• Confirmation will be received at time of booking, unless booked within 7 days of travel. In this case confirmation will be received within 48 hours, subject to availability
• This itinerary is subject to change without prior notice according to weather conditions, strikes, roadblocks, or other forces beyond our control
• During the rainy season (January to April), the salt flat fills with water so it is not possible to cross the salt flat in the same way as during dry season causing the itinerary to be modified during that period. The main changes are: instead of stopping at the Incahuasi Island, a stop is made at a place where the water reflects the sky so it seems that the sky and the ground merge into one; on Day 1 might require sleeping at a different location; visit the Sol de Mañana Geyser and hot springs at the end of Day 2 instead of in the morning of Day 3.
• This trip takes place at a very high altitude. For example, the salt flats is around 16,000 feet (5,000 meters) above sea level. Most guests feel some effects of altitude (headache, lethargy, trouble sleeping) and we recommend acclimating yourself by staying above 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) for a few days before embarking on this trip.
• Bring medication for headaches and tablets for altitude sickness in case you feel unwell
• Always drink LOTS of water to assist in acclimatization
• The reality of visiting a remote area and immersing yourself in nature is that you will be far from modern facilities and the services may sometimes be slow and basic
• Due to the harsh terrain, vehicle breakdowns are not uncommon, however, the drivers are skilled at fixing mechanical problems and delays are rarely excessive
• The accommodations will be very basic with cots and shared rooms
• Electricity and running water in the National Park are not as dependable as they are at home
• Public toilet facilities will be available only on the first day and may have a small local cost
• Bring snacks, toilet paper, and plenty of drinking water (minimum 2 gallons or 5 liters per person)
• Temperatures can drop well below zero in the winter months and the wind chill can be harsh at all times so bring warm clothes and many layers
• Also bring a sun hat, polarized sunglasses, high SPF sunblock, trekking shoes, swimsuit, towel, personal medication, a flashlight, a camera, extra batteries and memory card, chargers (electricity is available in most hotels), hand sanitizer, and personal first aid kit
