What to pack for Salar de Uyuni?

You should pack thermals underneath, a windproof jacket, warm socks, sunglasses with high UV protection, and sturdy walking shoes. Also bring lip balm, sunscreen, and a reusable water bottle because the sun is intense and the altitude is dry, like really dry.

Layering is the main idea for comfort on this trip. In the mornings, everything feels freezing, but by midday the strong sun is relentless, so you will end up taking off outer layers quickly. High-quality sunglasses are strictly mandatory. The stark white salt crust bounces the light back hard, and that reflection can lead to snow blindness if you do not protect your eyes properly.
