Hi all,
I'll be traveling from San Pedro de Atacama, in Chile, to Salta in early/mid May. I've heard that bus tickets can be sold out for weeks in advance (a friend who was there in Feb. told me..). I also feel like I've heard that it's not possible to buy tickets unless you're there in person. I'll be getting there by means of a salt flats tour that starts in Uyuni.
So, two questions:
1. Can you buy tickets in advance?
2. Which bus company would you recommend?
Also, any recommendations of busses to take TO Uyuni? I'll be traveling alone and meeting a friend there, so I'm hoping there will be one that goes directly there; don't want to deal with changing lines, etc. How long does it take?
Thanks!!
