点评:I have recently returned from a three day trip with Uyuni based Flamingotravels of the Uyuni salt flats and mountains and lagoons to the south of the flats.
In my view there were serious safety failings with our trip which led to the six passengers and guide spending the second night of the tour stranded in our jeep at over 4000m in the desert awaiting rescue that did not come until the following morning.
This was because our guide gave away our spare wheel at the start of the second day to another jeep so when we had a puncture later that day, it could not be fixed and we were marooned in the high altitude desert at a precipitous angle. Immediate rescue did not materialise because we were not driving in convoy with other Flamingo vehicles, our guide had no radio to contact other vehicles (the area largely has no mobile signal) and we appeared to have veered off the main route that other vehicles took.
Rescue did arrive but not until 5am the next morning after an uncomfortable and uncertain night.
Be careful who you use for these salt flats and lagoon tours and check these basic safety procedures are being implemented.

我认为这次旅行存在严重的安全隐患,导致我们六名乘客和导游在行程的第二个晚上被困在海拔4000多米的沙漠中,等待救援,直到第二天早上才获救。
原因是我们的导游在第二天开始时把备胎给了另一辆吉普车,所以当天晚些时候我们的轮胎爆胎后无法修理,我们被困在了高海拔沙漠的陡峭山坡上。由于我们没有与其他Flamingotravels旅行社的车辆结伴而行,我们的导游也没有无线电通讯设备(该地区几乎没有手机信号),而且我们似乎偏离了其他车辆行驶的主路,因此救援未能立即到位。
救援人员最终赶到,但那是在经历了令人不安和焦虑的一夜之后,直到第二天早上5点。
选择盐滩和泻湖游览团时务必谨慎,并检查他们是否落实了基本的安全措施。
