Potosí Getting there!!
Posted: Thu January 25, 2007 03:43 PM UTC
Hi
I'm having a little hiccup. Ideally I want to travel to Potosi or Sucre from Argentina or at a push Paraguay. What is the best way to do this? Additionally, I want to then visit Salar d Uyuni and then to San Pedro de AStacame before heading south the Santiago. Can anyone recommend some solutions to my little headache? Thankyou all!!!

From Argentina, you can go to La Quiaca in Jujuy, Argentina and then cross (even walking!) up to Villazón in the bolivian side and you are in! Then you have two options. From Villa to Uyuni straight by train and take the tour there to the salar or from Villa to Tupiza, that little town where Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid spent their last days. There are interesting things to do in Tupiza and you can take a tour to Uyuni from there. This web page could be useful to you:

I hope this helps!

There are enough buses between PotosÍ and Uyuni. From Uyuni you can do the popular tour via Salar de Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama. it takes 3 days in a 4X4. Many tour operators in Uyuni. From San Pedro itg is easy to get to Santiago.
