The Tatio Geysers at Sunrise from San Pedro de Atacama

Upon arriving at the Tatio geothermal field, at an elevation of more than 4,200 meters above sea level, take in the impressive columns of steam rising from the ground in the early morning hours. Our guide will accompany you through the various areas of active geysers and explain the geothermal phenomena that make this highland landscape unique. You’ll also have time to enjoy a hot breakfast outdoors, surrounded by the Andes mountain range.

On the way back from the Tatio Geysers, we’ll stop at the Putana River Ford. Watch flamingos, Andean ducks, and other highland birds in their natural habitat, with the Putana volcano as a backdrop. Take this opportunity to take photos and enjoy the scenery of the Chilean highlands.

During the final leg of the tour, we’ll visit Machuca, a picturesque Altiplano village located at about 4,000 meters above sea level. Stroll through its dirt streets, discover its traditional adobe and thatched-roof buildings, and explore its colonial church. Our guide will share the history of this Atacameño community and its way of life on the Altiplano. You’ll also have the option to sample local specialties such as llama empanadas or Andean meat skewers.
