Is it mandatory to hire a tour? Can I go on my own?
It is not mandatory but highly recommended. You must take into account that there are hardly any signs on the road and the Salar is the perfect place to get lost since there are very few visual references and it has 10,500 square kilometers of extension. The risks of getting stranded in the rainy season if you do not know the terrain are also very high. In any case you will need a 4×4 vehicle.
