Minuteman restaurant is attatched to the side of Tonito hotel, serving breakfast and dinner 7 days a week to guests or non-guests. Breakfast is available from 7:30 til 10 with many homemade options, and dinner comprising of the best pizza or pasta you will have tried in a long time is served between 5 and 10. You would have to have a very good excuse to come through Uyuni and not stop at this place for at least one meal. The next few pictures show the restaurant in full swing.

Group reservations are accepted via email.

Last year we have started a joint project with Tucan Tour Company as well as Dragoman tours to help the children here in the Orphanage of Uyuni. 

This will now be an annual event with a Christmas visit from Santa and Donations to help the orphanage.

Minuteman Solar Protection Relief Project

This project was started by Justin Kaley, a visitor who decided to make a difference. Justin sent 50 pairs of sunglasses from Massachusetts, USA.

Chris (Minuteman) has taken these Sunglasses and many more donated by visitors out to the Salar to help the Salt workers protect their eyes from the harmful UV rays they are exposed to day after day.Roman Mamani with new glasses1.jpg (38506 bytes) Roman Mamani with protective eyewear.
