Sleeping Between Starry Nights & White Salt Plains

Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni now home to bubble tents

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you’ve ever camped outdoors away from city lights and slept beneath the stars, you know how awe-inspiring the experience is – and if you’ve ever been to the Salar de Uyuni – the world’s largest salt flat located in Bolivia – you know how otherworldly the area can look. An endless expanse of salt stretches on as far as the eye can see, with not a structure in sight.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Huge bay windows offer endless views of the salt flats

More of a bubble-tent than a lodge in its traditional sense, Kachi Lodge is situated right on the Salar de Uyuni itself, comprising of just six private domes, each of which creates cosy enclaves with their white-on-wood atmosphere, premium lodgings, and bay tent-windows that offer uninterrupted views of the Salar.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Intrepid adventurers can head to the archaeological site of Alcaya, a pre-Columbian city a short drive away, and avid hikers can trek parts of the nearby Tunupa volcano crater.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

The nearest air connection to Salar de Uyuni is the Uyuni Airport. kachilodge.com & amazingescapes.ch ◼[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Subscribe to the latest edition now by clicking here.
