What you can expect

  • Altitude: 4320 metres above sea level Approx.
    El Tatio (from Kunza “tata-iu”), which means “the crying grandfather,” is one of the highest geyser fields in the world. Located in the Andes range NE of San Pedro de Atacama, it is the largest group of geysers in the southern hemisphere and the third largest in the world, after Yellowstone (USA) and Dolina Giezerow (Russia). The maximum expression of these fumaroles begins at dawn, with temperatures reaching 85 C. On our return it is possible to observe fauna such as vicuñas, llamas, rheas, vizcachas, etc. While in the Flora the giant Cactus, llaretas, coirón, etc. stand out. We will observe from a viewpoint, the small ancestral town of Machuca, its few inhabitants are mainly dedicated to grazing and cheese production, very close to the place is the Laguna Salada where families of flamingos, ducks and seagulls live with an imposing landscape of beauty.

    *We always recommend that you do this Tour on the 2nd day or at the end of your visit, so you will have time to adapt to the altitude and have a great time.
