Atacama and Uyuni Salt Flats Motorcycle Tour
Two of the most astonishing landscapes on the planet in a single motorcycle tour: the Atacama Desert, the driest and highest on earth, and the Uyuni Salt Flats, the largest salt desert in the world — a white sea that stretches as far as the eye can see. ROXMOTORS connects the two in 10 days across Chile and Bolivia in Fly & Ride format: you fly into Chile, ride a Triumph Tiger and cross altiplanos, Andean passes and the salt flats without spending weeks in transit.
From the Atacama to the Uyuni Salt Flats by motorcycle
Between San Pedro de Atacama and Uyuni, every leg reveals a new scene — blue lagoons, snow-capped volcanoes, the Paso de Jama above 4,000 m and, at the end, the white immensity of the salt flats. It is one of the most sought-after routes in South America, and ROXMOTORS covers in 10 days what would otherwise take around 20.
Route highlights
- San Pedro de Atacama and its attractions: Valle de la Luna, El Tatio Geysers, Altiplanic Lagoons.
- Paso de Jama — crossing the Andes above 4,000 m into Argentina.
- Humahuaca and Tupiza — Andean villages that seem frozen in time.
- Uyuni Salt Flats — nearly 11,000 km² of salt, with a night in a salt hotel.
