Description

Description

You’ll begin this direct transfer in Uyuni, traveling across the high-altitude plateau (Altiplano) stretching between Bolivia and Chile. The border crossing is through Hito Cajón, approximately 40 km from San Pedro de Atacama. This border pass sits at an altitude of over 4,400 meters (14,400 feet). The journey itself becomes part of your trip, taking you from vast highland plains to the desert before arriving in Chilean territory.


The service operates with two vehicles: one in Bolivia and another in Chile, with a vehicle change at the border crossing. There are no stops along the route, not even for lunch, allowing you to optimize your total travel time. If you’re planning to explore the wonders of the Atacama Desert or continue your journey through Chile and return later, you can book your return transfer from either San Pedro de Atacama or Calama.


Chile’s wonders are waiting for you, so book your private transfer and enjoy a comfortable, seamless border crossing between Bolivia and Chile.
