By the locals and for the locals, Hotel de Sal Sumaj Richariy is the only hotel entirely made with salt built and managed by the local community in Bolivia. That is set in a sustainable and community driven development. 

Sumaj Richariy is phrase in the local direct meaning good wake-up/morning and good sunrise. We welcome you to stay with us while visiting the Salar de Uyuni. Locating by the edge of the salt pan, we are the closest hotel to the salt flat and stepping out into the salt flat is just 2 mins. Our hotel is designed with colorful Andean charm, art, and furniture. We have an on-site restaurant offering delicious local flavors.

The hotel founder Maria was born and raised up in the community by the salt pan. In the 90s She has the idea to built a hotel in the world’s famous attraction so that the locals could benefit. In October 23rd 2010 her family started the project and it was the first hotel being built in the salt pan. Finally, since 2016 Hotel de Sal Sumaj Richariy has been open.

Committed to sustainable tourism: Since we are owned by the locals, we are committed to supporting the local community. Our hotel is built with environmental friendly materials. We buy food from local farmers and we hire local people. Join us in helping the amazing people of Uyuni. Your stay will contribute to our local community.
