Description

We’ll depart San Pedro de Atacama before dawn, heading into the Altiplano across the Andes. After about 1.5 hours, you’ll arrive at El Tatio Geysers, a unique geothermal field with more than 80 active geysers at 4,200 m (13,780 ft). As sunrise lights up the landscape, enjoy a hearty breakfast, then walk among steam columns, fumaroles, and bubbling pools, a natural spectacle perfect for photography.


On the way back to San Pedro de Atacama, we’ll stop at the Putana River, an ideal spot to observe high-Andean wildlife and altiplano flora. A must-do for travelers who want to experience the Atacama Desert with comfort, safety, and unforgettable views.
