Uyuni to san pedro de atacama: Next week!
What's your range? Could always head towards Vulcan Sajama then south to San Garcia de Mendoza (fuel here) across the altiplano. Did this solo a few weeks ago then went back to La Paz. Bit sandy in places but otherwise okay dirt minus some washboard if you stick to main route. Few river crossings nothing serious. From SGDM you can head south across the Salt Flat and miss Uyuni altogether heading to San Cristobal to refuel. From there go down to SPDA via Villa Mar and then south to Laguna Verde. I was at the salar two weeks ago and it looked drivable, visit to Uyuni to restock on food and get bike properly de-salted good idea IMO. Overall very remote, lonely but absolutely mind-blowing scenery. Northern part probably more sketchy as no other riders or 4x4s tour groups. Just the odd half-deserted village every 50k or so. Take it easy - not a place you want a bad off especially if you're solo.
