Discover the magic of the Tatio Geysers, the third largest geothermal field in the world, located in the Chilean Altiplano at over 4,000 meters above sea level. This natural wonder, where columns of steam rise dramatically at dawn in a surreal landscape, is one of the most breathtaking attractions in San Pedro de Atacama.
The journey begins at the geothermal field of El Tatio, where dozens of geysers erupt and fumaroles rise, creating an incredible display of steam and light against the morning sky. Watching the sunrise in this Andean setting is truly an unforgettable experience.
The adventure continues at the Putana Wetlands, a natural oasis where flamingos, vicuñas, and other native species thrive amidst water and vegetation in stark contrast to the desert. We also visit Machuca, a small Andean village where traditional lifestyles are preserved, surrounded by stunning mountain scenery.
Along the route, you’ll have the chance to observe the unique flora and fauna of the Altiplano, perfectly adapted to extreme conditions. With the guidance of knowledgeable experts sharing insights on geology, ecology, and local culture, this tour is a perfect blend of adventure, learning, and connection with nature.
Experiencing the Tatio Geysers means immersing yourself in the heart of the Chilean Andes and witnessing one of the most impressive natural phenomena in the world, a memory you’ll cherish forever.
