Choosing where to sleep
There are three kinds of night in southern Bolivia, and each one suits a different tour.
| Type | Where | Comfort | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hotel or hostel in Uyuni | Town of Uyuni | Medium to high; heating in the best ones | 1 and 2 day tours; the night before or after |
| Salt hotel | Near Colchani, beside the salt flat | High; private bathroom and heating | Anyone who wants a singular night |
| High-altitude refuge | Sud Lípez, 4,200 to 4,300 m | Basic; shared rooms, rarely heated | 3 and 4 day tours |
Before you book
- Ask in writing about heating, hot water and check-in time. With average lows of about -10 °C in June and July, the difference shows.
- If your tour leaves early, confirm that breakfast is served on time and that your luggage will be stored.
- In July and August, book several weeks ahead.
- Carry cash in bolivianos: Uyuni ATMs often run out of bills.
Do not confuse the salt hotels of today with the old Hotel de Sal inside the salt flat: it no longer takes guests and is now a museum and a photo stop on the one-day tours.
Notes on the Palacio de Sal and Tayka del Desierto, and the tips, are drawn from our guide to where to sleep in Uyuni (opens in a new tab, on terraaltabolivia.com) (updated October 5, 2026) and from the Uyuni Luxe page.
