    Uyuni Salt Flats, Bolivia

    Travesia: Atacama - Altiplano - Uyuni

    A journey through South America’s most otherworldly landscapes
    Explora Uyuni lodge in the Salar de Uyuni salt flats in Bolivia

    Discover natural beauty beyond belief in Bolivia and Chile

    Travesia is a journey across the desert, mountains and salt flats; from Chile to Bolivia, or in reverse. A private 4×4 vehicle with an expert Explora guide and local driver lead an immersive exploration of unique landscapes and thrilling activities, with evenings spent in mountain homes and isolated lodges.

    The exceptional Explora, situated on the outskirts of San Pedro de Atacama, is a wonderfully placed lodge to explore the Atacama desert. It offers everything from breathtaking landscapes, fascinating wildlife and exciting activities to enthralling history and culture. 

    Hop back in your 4×4 and journey from the orange, pink and yellow desert of Atacama to the jaw-dropping Altiplano across the Bolivian border. This epic journey is designed to discover the staggering natural beauty of high altitudes, with volcanoes, geysers, deserts, lagoons and finally – the world’s largest salt flats.

    Throughout the Travesia journey of either 8 or 11 nights, along with scenic transfers between each lodge, there’s an array of activities available to suit every kind of traveller. Each activity, whether adventurous or reflective, will dive deep into local nature, geography, history and local myth and legend.

    There are four lodges stretched across the Travesia route, for weary travellers to rest and restore: Explora in Chile, and Chituca, Ramaditas and Lodge Uyuni, all in Bolivia. Each property is designed to take full advantage of the silence, privacy and spaciousness of the surrounding landscapes, ensuring deep rest after a long day of exploration. The architecture of each lodge highlights the natural beauty with a low environmental impact approach to the construction and daily operations.

    The Singular Santiago

    The Singular Santiago is a luxury hotel in the Lastarria neighbourhood of Santiago.

    A sister hotel to The Singular Patagonia, The Singular Santiago is located in one of the artiest areas of the Chilean capital, Lastarria: the Museum of Fine Art, the Museum of Visual Arts, and the Gabriel Mistral Center are all within walking distance of the hotel.

    It’s not just the location that’s appealing: the rooftop pool provides a scenic setting in which to both cool down after a day exploring Santiago and take in the view; the spa offers post- or pre-long-haul flight massages; and the Singular Restaurant serves French dishes alongside local specialties, such as Guanaco and Penca, to keep the flavour decidedly Latin. The ninth-floor Sky Bar is the perfect place to polish off a day in Lastarria.

    There are 62 rooms: the Patio Rooms and the Classic Rooms overlook the Plaza Mulato Gil, and the Deluxe Balcony Rooms have views across the Parque Forestal. All rooms at The Singular benefit from stylish decor and all the mod-cons you could wish for, including wireless internet, LCD TVs, large and comfortable beds, and well-equipped, spacious marble bathrooms.
