El Tatio · Andean high plateau

Geysers Excursion

Geysers Excursion

At sunrise, we set out towards one of the entrances to the Andean high plateau, where we’ll witness the region’s intense volcanic activity emerging in potent thermal displays and soaring fumaroles, reaching several meters in height. This area is known as the geothermal expanse of the Tatio Geysers. We’ll also discover another remarkable natural phenomenon called the “Géiser Blanco.”

Along the journey, we’ll have the chance to observe vital high-altitude ecosystems teeming with diverse biodiversity, including the Machuca and Putana wetlands.

Please note that the pools of the Tatio Geysers have been closed for swimming.
