Uyuni to Santa Cruz

Best way to get from Uyuni to Santa Cruz?
15 years ago, June 10th 2008 No: 1 Msg: #37972  
Hi there,
After visiting the Salt Plains in Uyuni, I need to get to Santa Cruz for a flight over to Sao Paulo. Does anyone know of the best way to get there in a day and a half (flight, train, bus?) I finish the Salt Tour on the evening of the 15th of Sept, and the flight from Santa Cruz leaves mid-morning on the 17th - is this enough time?

Any feedback would be appreciated, as I am struggling to find any info on this route.

Thanks heaps!

You can get a night bus at 7pm from Uyuni to Potosi. Not sure if there is a direct one to Santa Cruz. But you will almost certainly find a direct one next morning from Potosi. Sorry I haven't got more detailed info. Reply to this

No, that helps Barry, thanks a lot! Do you know how long approximately both bus trips might take? Reply to this

Uyuni to Potosi is supposedly 6 hours, though it took us 8 or 9 as we had one wheel change, one breakdown and one long delay behind a truck which became stuck. Though you probably won't want to hear it, you always need to allow extra time for bus travel in Bolivia. Sucre is a further 3 hours on from Potosi but I don't know how long it is to Santa Cruz, we only went as far as Sucre. Enjoy your trip!
