Salt lakes Bolivia in two weeks from now

We would like to ride the salt lakes in Bolivia in one or two weeks from now. Does anyone know if they are possible to ride in this period? And how are the roads to and from the salt lakes?

I was there in 2010 and 2011 and Uyuni (the big one) was not flooded until January. I think you'll be okay in December unless they get an unusual amount of rainfall.

The salar is absolutely stunning when it's flooded and worth seeing. Riding and camping on the salar when it's dry is a great experience as well. You can't go wrong either way imo.
