    The transfer from Calama airport (we were traveling by bus) was not possible despite several contacts at the last moment and we had to organize the transfer ourselves. Otherwise, however, the organization was impeccable, beforehand because of the communication not always clear, but during the tour everything worked. Backpackers Hostel in San Pedro is simply brilliant with Fabiola at the reception. The 3-day tour from San Pedro to Uyuni with our guides (Fernando and Eluterio) although they could not speak English, was fantastic.

    The good: the scenery is fairly impressive and our driver spoke no English but he was super friendly and a very safe and careful driver. The bad: the transport, the accommodation, the food. Let’s start with the transport. I will preface this by saying our driver was amazing. He was very safe and very friendly (although he spoke no English and we spoke almost no Spanish, so communication was a little challenging). However this poor man had to drive a beat up, decades old Land Cruiser, stuffed to the brim with seven people and our luggage. There were only three operational seatbelts, a smashed windscreen, weak a/c and apparently the back brakes didn’t work, so our driver had to keep the hand-break halfway up and continuously get out of the car in the snow/rain to tighten them. Our driver was working so hard to keep us safe, especially in 4WD and snowy conditions, but honestly a working seatbelt would’ve been nice. Now for the accommodation. Unfortunately there isn’t a whole lot in the areas you travel through on this tour so we already had low expectations, and boy were we disappointed. In particular the lack of heating, hot water, towels and even toilet paper were surprising but the rooms were generally clean despite the paint that was peeling of the ceilings. Comfort was of course at an all time low, so if you do choose to take this tour I would encourage you to pack toilet paper, several layers of warm/thermal clothing and a pillow so you don’t have to use a bag of dirty clothes like we did. Now the food. Just add snacks and water to the above packing list and you’ll be fine. If you have dietary restrictions - good luck! On the positive side, there are great dining options in La Paz, so we made up for three days of malnutrition once we arrived there. In summary, if you want to see the scenery between San Pedro de Atacama and Uyuni then you just need to be prepared to rough it for a few nights, but I would book direct with those operators to save several hundred dollars. For the San Pedro de Atacama stint at the beginning, book some decent accommodation and avoid the outrageous markup on a s***** hostel.
