Then drive to the village of Krcia on the edge of the salt lake, visit the salt factories and handicraft markets of the local residents, and drive a 4x4 into the salt lake in search of the magnificent sky mirror. Due to the arrival of the rainy season, the flat surface of the salt lake is covered with a large mirror of the sky, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds of the plateau in the water, as if entering heaven.

  • Note: The salt lake is just one of the attractions in southern Bolivia, and it has its own unique scenery in both the dry and rainy seasons.
  • Winter from June to October is a cold climate with a large temperature difference between morning and evening, and the temperature can drop to minus 5 degrees Celsius in the middle of the night.
  • Mid-December to March is the rainy season - there is a good chance to see the Sky Mirror, but the roads are muddy and if the rainfall is too deep and the water is too deep, you will not be able to visit Cactus Island and the lakes.

In order to ensure the safety of the tour, the tour guide and tour leader will carefully observe the daily weather conditions and arrange the activity flexibly, and the driver will have the right to cancel or change the tour.
