SILOLI DESERT | BOLIVIA

The Siloli Desert is located at 4,500m above sea level and is favourite destination for many of our tour packages to Bolivia. The Andes are part of the desert, which is covered in volcanoes and ridges. The desert road is made up of gravel and sandy roads. The road follows a series of rocks that were formed by strong winds. Arbol de Piedra, also known as Stone Tree, is the most stunning. Because it looks like a tree, this unique volcanic rock formation is very special. Another surreal scene is the beautiful, coloured volcano that dominates the western horizon.

There is no best time to visit the Siloli Desert and it can be visited all year round. As the Desert is almost always visited as part of a trip to the Uyuni Salt Flats it is best to choose a time that fits with what you wish to see at the Salt Flats. You can read more about that here.

This unique part of Bolivia is for the adventurous and usually visited as part of a multi-day trip to or from the Atacama to the Uyuni Salt Flats.
