Uyuni Airport (IATA: UYU) is a small regional airport located just outside the town of Uyuni, providing the quickest access for visitors arriving from La Paz or other Bolivian cities. The airport consists of a single terminal with limited services, including a café and souvenir shop. Upon landing, passengers are greeted by sweeping views of the high-altitude desert and distant volcanoes. It serves as the primary entry point for those seeking to minimize travel time to the Salar de Uyuni, with many tour operators offering immediate transfers to the salt flats.
