The rainy season (roughly January–March) can create the celebrated mirror effect; the dry season (April–November) offers clearer driving and crisp white salt expanses.
This itinerary includes three breakfasts and typical local accommodations; lunches on the salt flat are often picnic-style and may be provided depending on the operator.
Salt and fine dust can damage gear—use sealed cases, dry bags, and wipe equipment after exposure; bring silica packs to limit moisture.
The Salar sits on the remains of prehistoric lakes (Minchin and Tauca) and has been a trade and surface-mining area for salt and other minerals for centuries.
The fragile salt crust and highland ecosystems are vulnerable to vehicle tracks, waste and mining impacts; stick to beaten routes, pack out trash and respect local resource use.
