To visit Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat in Bolivia, I took the overnight bus from La Paz to Uyuni.
One way ticket is $38. Left La Paz at 9:00pm and arrived
Uyuni at a little past 7am. It was very comfortable. Just after a few minutes
after we left the terminal, we were given water and was served with a chicken
and rice meal (it was good). After the meal, we were offered coffee or tea for
drink. There was also chocolate for dessert. Sweet! They also handed us pillows
and blankets which were great. The heater/heating system is also present on the
bus. There’s Wi-Fi available on-board but it only worked for me on the first
hour of the trip. Well, after the first hour, I just started to snooze and
slept, haha. The bus staff were nice and approachable. Very good customer
service.
Just a few
minutes before we arrived the Bus terminal in Uyuni, they handed over a to-go
pack Snack, which consists of yogurt (strawberry for me), a chocolate vanilla
bread, and a small Oreo biscuit.
Other details: The toilet was clean, there was entertainment
on board, and seats reclined well.
Overall it was good experience. The roads were in good
condition and wasn’t bumpy. I recommend to have this trip instead of taking the
train (which I would share my experience on a separate post). It’s pricey but
would definitely take this again should I go to Uyuni.
