    Servicios Astronómicos Maury y Compañía

    Take a Tour of the Night Sky from San Pedro with Servicios Astronómicos Maury y Compañía. Tours leave nightly at 7:30pm and 10:30pm in winter and 9pm and midnight in summer (except around the full moon), and they alternate between Spanish, English and French. Bring very warm clothes. French astronomer Alain Maury ferries travelers into the desert, far from intrusive light contamination, where they can enjoy the stars in all their glory. He owns several chunky telescopes through which visitors can gawk at galaxies, nebulae, planets and more. Shooting stars are guaranteed.

  2. B

    Cactus Tour

    A small outfit, but frequently recommended for its excellent service, polite bilingual guides, comfortable vehicles and above-average food. Prices are marginally high, but the difference is noticeable.

  3. C

    Turismo Colque

    Turismo Colque remains the biggest company with the most departures to Uyuni, Bolivia, although it gets very erratic reports from travelers. The quality of the trip depends in part on the driver you get: ask around for recommendations. They can arrange pricier trips with an English-speaking guide.
