Operational warnings

red · Operational constraint

The Coipasa and Uyuni salt-flat approaches can flood and conceal soft crust or brine hazards.

A mapped salt crossing may become physically non-viable and vehicle recovery is extremely limited.

Planning response: Use only a locally confirmed dry alignment and carry independent navigation, range and emergency communications.

Seasonal windows are planning triggers, not a substitute for current road, weather or land-access reports. Recheck the official sources below before departure.
