Early in the morning, we will pick you up at your hotel to visit one of the highest geyser fields in the world.
Located in the Andes Mountains, 61 miles from San Pedro de Atacama and 4,320 meters above sea level, El Tatio (from Kunza "tata-iu") means "The Grandfather Who Cries."
After visiting the geysers, you can enjoy a natural pool with thermal water.
We will also visit Machuca, a small Atacamenian village located more than 4,000 meters above sea level, where its few inhabitants are mainly dedicated to grazing and cheese production.
When we arrive in San Pedro de Atacama, we will leave you downtown, from where you will go on your own to the hotel.
