History
The salt flat is a fossilized remnant of two prehistoric lakes; indigenous communities around the Altiplano have used its margins for salt and pastoralism for centuries.
Conservation
The Salar is ecologically fragile and tied to local livelihoods; travelers should avoid disturbing salt crust, pack out waste, and respect mining and grazing areas.

Layer for big temperature swings
Temperatures drop overnight; wear insulating mid- and outer-layers you can remove as the sun warms the plain.
Bring sun protection
UV is intense at high altitude — use sunscreen, sunglasses, and a brimmed hat even in cool air.
Use a tripod for reflections
A small tripod stabilizes long exposures and helps compose the perfect mirror image at low light.
Acclimatize to altitude
Spend a day in Uyuni or take it easy upon arrival to reduce altitude discomfort; avoid heavy exertion before the tour.
Insulated jacket and base layers
Keeps you warm during pre-dawn and early-morning winds on the high-altitude plain.
Sunscreen, sunglasses, and hat
Protects from strong UV exposure reflected off the salt surface.
Sturdy waterproof boots
Useful for walking on wet, flooded salt crust—many operators provide boots but a good pair is handy.
Compact tripod and wide-angle camera
Enables sharp sunrise shots and the classic reflection photos the Salar is famous for.
