Bolivia salt flats tour from La Paz

Planet

CARBON REDUCTION
We recognize the significant impact of tourism on the environment, from CO2 emissions and deforestation to animal welfare, reef destruction, and soil erosion, and we are determined to make a positive difference in the world.

For this tour, there are no domestic flights or private car travels. During your journey, you will rely on public buses and 4x4 vehicles that transfer small groups, as these are the ones that can access the areas you will be visiting. This keeps CO2 emissions per person lower.

Vegetarian meals are available during the trip.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

We collaborate with our on-site partners to actively minimize waste, which entails replacing all single-use plastic water bottles with refill options for reusable bottles.

The income generated from the collection of entrance fees at natural reserves, such as Incahuasi Island and Eduardo Avaroa Reserve, is crucial for both the ongoing maintenance and the continuous enhancement of these invaluable sites. This is habitat for various reptiles, amphibian, fish species, bird species, and mammals.

Our local team follows the environmental guidelines and takes measures to reduce their impact on the salt flats and the surrounding area. They are tasked with educating tourists about various rules, including refraining from collecting salt or any other natural materials from the region, avoiding littering, and following the Leave No Trace principles to minimize their environmental impact.
