**  most local driver/guides speak spanish only. 
But we have some that speak also basic english. According to the dates you are planning your trip, we can schedule the english-speaking guide.
If you require an exclusive english  guide or in any other language please find the Uyuni Private Tours page.

* Please Note:
The main route specified on the program may vary due to climatic conditions. On the fall/winter months, the Hito Cajon Frontier Pass may be closed, without prior notice, forcing us to pass thru the Ollague Frontier Pass, which is an extra 5-hour detour.
In this case, the agency in Chile or Bolivia at the start of tour, requires an extra payment of $20.000 clp each for the extra costs of the trip. Also, the time of   arrival is delayed by the detour.
The serious difference between agencies are the vehicles used.
The path travelled is a trail, not a road. You are in Bolivia, in a pristine environment, fascinating and wild. Prisma Andino assists you with qualified experts of the territory and a safe trip, with vehicles that get revision after every tour.

This is why we are recommended by many travellers!
