Key aspects of this tour
The Top Priority Service: Your Safety
In this tour, which involves traveling to places exceeding an altitude of 3,400 meters from Cusco to the Uyuni Salt Flats, the Japanese-speaking guide will always carry a blood oxygen level meter as a precaution against altitude sickness. The guide will support your health management and, in case of an emergency, will ensure safe transportation to a local hospital while providing interpretation services to ensure your peace of mind.
Additionally, in urban areas like La Paz and Cusco, where theft and pickpocketing are common, the guide will take utmost care to ensure your safety while guiding you.

To Unforgettable Scenic Views!
In the rainy season, we will explore Machu Picchu with a mix of hiking and site tours, including a lunch break. Early in the morning, we will climb Huayna Picchu, which offers breathtaking views of Machu Picchu. After descending from Huayna Picchu, we will have lunch at Sanctuary Lodge. After lunch, we will re-enter the ruins for a guided tour of the site.
Additionally, we have scheduled a night flight to Uyuni, where you will experience the sunrise once, the stars once, and the sunset twice. (Please note that the number of experiences may vary depending on weather conditions on the day. Additionally, the sunset viewing on the second day may not be possible depending on the flight schedule.)
We employ only experienced local drivers who are familiar with the salt flats, avoiding areas prone to mud. They share information with other guides to locate the best scenic spots with water on the vast salt flats. In the evening, we will check the sky conditions and moonlight to ensure you experience the best timing for viewing the star-filled sky.

A World That Gives You Chills
To witness a sky full of stars in every direction, all the elements need to align perfectly—the water level of the salt flat, the moonlight, the clouds, the rain, and other weather conditions.
However, we are at the mercy of raw nature.
Situated at an altitude of 3,600 meters, the vast Uyuni Salt Flats stretch endlessly to the horizon. The winds and weather are unpredictable, sometimes revealing a breathtaking beauty far beyond our imagination.
Having observed the salt flat’s ever-changing expressions for many years, we will use our knowledge and experience to invite you into this extraordinary landscape.
Our wish is to share this "otherworldly" experience with you.
By analyzing factors like location within the salt flat, predictions of rain and wind, and the movements of the sun and moon, and combining this with the knowledge and experience of our seasoned local guides, we offer a flexible journey that adapts to the rhythms of nature, rather than being tied to a fixed schedule.
Join us for a warm drink and a night under a sky full of stars!
