Valle Hermoso Tours

My best friend and I completed a Salar de Uyuni Tour leaving from Tupiza In June this year. We went with Valle Hermosa Tours who appeared very friendly and competent. When we asked about seatbelts in the jeep we were assured that there were there, however on the day none such were provided. The first three days of the tour were fine however on the last day our driver and cook consumed a large amount of alcohol and not only got up late thus delaying our start but continued to drink while driving accross the salt flats at terrifying speed, I can safely say i have never been as scared for my life. To add insult to injury, when we asked him to slow down he just laughed and carried on driving erratically. As we passed the site of the tragic accident that had occured on May 1, they slowed down and pointed out that this was the spot that the two jeeps had collided almost as if it were a tourist attraction. As our group was clearly quite distressed at this, we again asked if the driver would slow down to which he just laughed and then started to treat the whole incident of May 1st as a bit of a joke, which I found appalling. I have never been so relieved to get out of a car in all my life i was just thankful that we made it to Uyuni. I write this to warn others of the potential dangers and also as I have seen Valle Hermosa Tours highly recommended in another forum.
