From San Pedro de Atacama: El Tatio Geysers Tour

Depart before dawn
for the El Tatio Geysers

After an early-morning pickup from your accommodation in San Pedro de Atacama, climb through the hills and mountain roads of the Andes to the Altiplano. After a drive of about 1 hour 30 minutes, arrive at El Tatio, about 80 km from San Pedro de Atacama.

Explore the geothermal field and its steam columns

El Tatio is a geothermal field of about 10 km² with more than 80 geysers, including fumaroles, boiling mud pools, bubbling pools and springs. The steam is most active between 5:30 and 7:00 a.m., when it can rise close to 10 m. Walk among the many steam columns with your guide and explore the field.

Enjoy breakfast beside the geysers

Have a hearty breakfast with the geysers right next to you. "El Tatio" means "the crying grandfather" in Kunza, the indigenous language of the area.

Stop at the Putana River to see local wildlife

On the way back to San Pedro de Atacama, make a short stop at the Putana River to observe the native flora and fauna. The tour ends at Plazoleta La Apacheta in the center of San Pedro de Atacama.
