Important Info about Uyuni Salt Flat Tour:

During the rainy season from January to April, the Salt Flats fill up with water so it is not possible to
cross them in the same way as during the dry season. As a consequence, the itinerary is modified during
that period. The main changes are usually as follows:
Instead of stopping at the Incahuasi (Fish Island), we stop at a place where the water reflects the
sky and where it seems that the sky and the ground merge into one.
