Conservation
The Altiplano’s fragile soils, limited water resources and salt crusts are vulnerable to vehicle damage and litter—stick to marked routes, minimize plastic use, and follow guide directions to limit impact.

Acclimatize on arrival
Spend your first day taking it easy in La Paz, drink extra water and avoid strenuous activity to reduce altitude sickness risk.
Protect against high‑altitude sun
Bring SPF 50 sunscreen, sunglasses and a wide‑brim hat—UV intensity is strong above 3,500 m.
Pack layers
Temperatures swing from warm midday to freezing nights—insulating midlayers and a windproof shell keep you comfortable.
Respect the salt flats
Stay on designated vehicle tracks in Uyuni and avoid leaving waste; salt crust and local water systems are fragile.
Layered clothing (base, fleece, windproof)
Temperature swings and high winds require adaptable layers for comfort throughout the day.
Sturdy walking shoes
Uneven archaeological paths and salt‑crust surfaces are best negotiated in supportive footwear.
Sun protection (sunscreen, sunglasses, hat)
High UV exposure on the Altiplano demands reliable sun protection year‑round.
Reusable water bottle with filter or hydration bladder
Hydration is crucial at altitude; carrying water reduces stops and plastic waste.
