You’ll be picked up right at your hotel in Uyuni — no scrambling for taxis or buses — and travel privately all the way to your hotel in La Paz. Expect an easy ride with a local driver who checks in on you along the way, plus flexible pickup times even late at night or early morning. It’s quiet comfort across Bolivia’s high plains; you might even find yourself missing those silent stretches after you arrive.
He was already waiting in the lobby when I came down — our driver, smiling quietly, holding a little sign with my name (which he pronounced better than most). It was still dark outside, the kind of cold that makes your breath look like smoke. He helped with my bag without a word, just a nod and that gentle way Bolivians have. I kept thinking how odd it felt to leave Uyuni at this hour, but there’s something about traveling by road in Bolivia — you trust the people more than the schedule.
The car was clean and smelled faintly of eucalyptus (maybe from his jacket?), which made me feel less groggy. We set off through empty streets, past shuttered shops and stray dogs curled up on doorsteps. The road out of town is rough at first, then smooths out as you get further from Uyuni. Our driver checked if I wanted music or silence; I went for silence, just the low hum of tires and the occasional radio crackle when he called ahead to La Paz. He asked if I needed to stop for snacks or a bathroom break along the way — honestly, I didn’t expect that level of care on a simple private transfer from Uyuni to La Paz.
Somewhere after sunrise, we passed tiny villages where women were already sweeping dust from their doorways. The mountains looked close enough to touch some moments, then far away again — light shifting all over them. My Spanish isn’t great but we managed small talk about football and weather (he laughed when I tried “frío” with my accent). Hours slipped by quietly; sometimes I’d catch him glancing back just to check if I was comfortable. That’s what stuck with me: not just getting from A to B, but feeling like someone actually noticed if you were okay.
