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.

El viaje partió desde muy temprano super bien ordenado, con buena comunicación para organizarnos, no hubo retrasos ni nada con ningún pasajero. El trayecto super tranquilo, llegamos en el mejor horario, las guías eran demasiado simpáticas, súper buen manejo de pasajeros, y de los idiomas. Desayuno excelente y el resto del viaje de regreso en las paradas que hicimos, super bien explicado. 1000% recomendado.

Só a visita aos Gêiseres do Tatio já é incrível, apesar do frio intenso, a caminhada por meio dos gêiseres é incrível. Delicioso café da manhã em seguida. E para completar o belíssimo Vale da Putana e a comunidade de Machuca.
