Need info about Salar de Uyuni
 

Hello all,

We are heading to Salar de Uyuni in the next few days (april 8-11) from San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. If anyone has any recent experiences/information about road conditions, where to get extra gas/water, or any other helpful information it would be greatly appreciated.

Also, we don't travel with GPS. Will this pose any problems there? Should we try to travel with someone else who does?

Also, if you around and want to travel with us, that would be awesome. We'll bring the wine bier

look in the south and central america section for a thread called 'roads to uyuni'. Good info there.

We did it without GPS. A good map (and the ability to read it) is all you need.

EDIT: Even good maps aren't 100% accurate. You'll need a good sense of direction too!

thanks, that thread is really helpful.

We do have a map, and luckily for me my partner has an excellent sense of direction. If I were on my own, it would be a different story...

Compass??? Its raining season and visibility can be poor.
And it can get really soft in parts... It took us an hour to dig ourselves out once.

Make sure someone knows your plans...
