Explora's Uyuni Salt Flat Lodge is situated on the border of the Uyuni salt flat, the largest and highest salt flat on Earth. Nestled on the slopes of the Tunupa volcano, named after the Andean god of lightning, this lodge offers travelers a unique perspective to fully comprehend the vastness of the Uyuni salt flat and the captivating scenery of the Altiplano plateau, with its vast salt plains and unique geological formations.
Designed for tranquility and connection with nature, the lodge accommodations provide an ideal setting to unwind after each day's exploration. What sets these lodges apart is their architectural ingenuity, courtesy of Chilean architect Max Núñez. These structures are intentionally light, compact, and low in height, allowing them to harmonize with their surroundings and minimize their impact on the pristine landscapes. Notably, they have been crafted in a 100% prefabricated and modular manner, offering the unique advantage of reversibility, ensuring they can be easily disassembled and relocated for future use in other breathtaking settings. The lodges are constructed from distinct modules that house bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and toilets, each assembled to create various configurations, adaptable to the specific demands of the locale.
