Although Uyuni is the principal starting point for tours to the Salt Flats, many tour agencies also offer the trip starting out from Tupiza. Prices are more expensive, but tours usually last two days longer (four-five days rather than the standard three). Additionally, there are typically fewer tourists during the first couple of days. Visitors have the option of ending the trip in either Tupiza or Uyuni. Rates, as well as standards, can vary, so do your research before making reservations. Tours typically cost between $100 and $180.
