| 70 | | 70 | Driving in Uyuni town is straightforward, but road
conditions quickly deteriorate outside the main
area. Most visitors join guided 4x4 tours to
explore the salt flats and surrounding desert.
Independent travel by car is possible but requires
solid preparation, a good map or GPS, and ideally
a high-clearance vehicle. Petrol stations can be
inconsistent with supply, so topping up at every
opportunity is essential. |

| | 73 | Uyuni is a small town and easily walkable. Most
hotels, restaurants, tour offices and bus
terminals are located within a few blocks of the
main plaza, so there's little need for taxis or
public transport within the town itself. |

| | 76 | Bicycle rental isn’t common in Uyuni itself,
largely due to the rugged conditions outside town.
However, a few operators offer bikes for
short-term rental. Keep in mind that the altitude
and dusty roads can make cycling more challenging
than expected. |

| | 78 | ===By Taxi=== |
| | 79 | Taxis are available but are generally informal -
often just unmarked cars. It’s common to agree on
a price before getting in, as they rarely use
metres. Rides around town are cheap and quick,
useful if you’re carrying luggage or heading to
the train station or airport. |

| | 82 | Most people exploring the region do so as part of
a tour in a 4WD vehicle. These tours are typically
shared with small groups, and vehicles are driven
by experienced local guides who know the terrain
well. If you’re planning to visit the salt flats
or venture south to the lagoons, geysers and hot
springs, this is by far the most practical and
popular option. |
