We did the 3 day/2 night tour. It was a brilliant experience - one of the highlights of our trip.
The vehicles were in really good condition and there was plenty of space. Our drivers were extremely skilled navigating the, some times really tricky, terrain and we felt safe throughout.
There was plenty of food at meal times, with the lunches being particularly tasty.
Our guide was really knowledgeable and enthusiastic throughout the trip. He also helped us get some really great pictures.
The accommodation was clean and comfortable. There was electricity and a hot shower available on the first night. On the first night we had a private room with our own bathroom.
The second night we shared a dorm room and toilet with the four other people who were in our jeep. It is cold on the second night because of the altitude. From what we've read/heard, that will be same with all tours unless you spend significantly more. The sleeping bags we were provided with were good quality.
On our tour, a member had a preexisting medical issue, which unfortunately flared up. The guides and drivers were able to use the satellite phone to help organise transport back to a city where she could receive medical care.
There were so many fantastic sights and experiences in this tour; we were really glad we did the longer tour.
We highly recommend Quechua Connections.
P.S.
Before the tour the communication with the company was good. If you get the overnight bus from La Paz, there is a cafe where you can get a substantial breakfast and charge phones/camera batteries.
Someone from the company met us at the cafe and showed us to the offices where we could wait for the tour to start. We were allowed to store the luggage we didn't need for the trip at the office.
The tour arrived back in Uyuni in plenty of time for us to change, have a meal (which we had with a number of people on our tour) and get the night bus back to La Paz.
I went on a 3 day tour. Great service provided by the company. Those who may have altitude sickness: the driver carries oxygen balloon, some pills and if required has a settelite phone to arrange urgent evacuation. Driver: Henry and guide Jose Luis - no complaints. José takes incredible fotos and you definitely will stay with great memories from the trip
STRANGE:
Although we didn’t have hungry and were served enough food, it seems that not all food was served ! We saw that drivers took on a trip a few dozens of eggs, bananas, apples etc but never were served these food.
I went on a 2 night 3 day tour leaving Uyuni and finishing at Sam Pedro de atacama.
The entire experience with axel and Edwin was amazing.
I felt safe and comfortable at all times with the driving and the vehicle.
At every point axel was able to explain everything in good detail, and give us a different level of understanding for nature and all the different processes and places that we saw.
Could not recommend this company or the driver and the guide more highly.
It was nicer than I expected. I took a 3 days 2 nights tour and everything was awesome I highly recommend this tour and this agency. Abel (our driver and guide) was very kind and helpfully. Hope to do a tour with them again. Bolivia has stunning views so beautiful.
Axel, our tour guide, and Henry, our driver, made this an amazing experience and the highlight of my month long trip to South America.
Axel And Henry knew all the best spots to park so we didn’t feel like we were in a mass of tourists. He was informative and I walked away really feeling like I had learned about the environment and some of the culture of the area.
Axel also made sure we always got our photo op! As a photographer - I really loved that I never felt rushed to move along to the place.
Highly recommend! I went solo and had a lovely time with the other 4 people in my group. Always felt safe and taken care of and the food was awesome! I am veggie/vegan and they were able to accommodate my food restrictions without only eating rice or salad.
My wife and I did the three day tour from Uyuni to San Pedro with Quechua Connection 4WD, and it was superb.
Our guide was Ademar and he was excellent. Always smiling and keen to ensure we were being looked after, but also an excellent photographer full of creative ideas for Salar De Uyuni.
The vehicle was in great condition but as Ademar is a trained mechanic there were no concerns. The accommodation and food were great, and the organisation of the tour ran very smoothly.
We've travelled all the way from Alaska over the past 5 months but the scenery on this tour is up there with the very best for us, it's like being on a different planet.
We highly recommend this tour with Ademar and Quechua Connection 4WD.
