The third largest geothermal field in the world - and the first in the southern hemisphere - is located in San Pedro de Atacama. In the first hour of dawn we reached 4,200m high to walk through the geysers at their busiest time, while on the way down, we took advantage of the beautiful landscapes, flora and fauna of the plateau.

The entrance ticket to the park is not included in the tour price and must be paid separately in person at the agency.

5.00I want to highlight to FELIPE our guide for his work and his delivery in each of the tours that I touch with him (there were several). At all times attentive to the group and how we were feeling throughout each tour, delivering a lot of information from each place visited making it more enriching for those looking for a more immersive experience, although the tour is group feels quite welcoming. Experience with Felipe 1000/10, if you take any tour ask that it be with the, 100% recommended.
Great tour

5.00I have to say from the moment we were picked up and actually from the moment we booked this tour, the correspondence with the team was incredible. We were picked up between 4:30 and 5:10 a.m. and I sent a WhatsApp group to tell me more information about the tour and exact pick up times. Our guides were incredible, lemon and editha, both so professional and spoke Spanish, Portuguese and English. The breakfast that they served was delicious and we had lots of stop-offs for toilet breaks and photo opportunities. Make sure you wear something warm.
Geyser tour: as cool and didactic as an exploring adventure!

5.00It was a very nice tour, it gave us very good information and was as good as a geological exploitation and a safari. We talk about indigenous fauna, flora, local native culture, the history of mining, the geological formation of volcanoes. It was really excellent.
Impermeable!

5.00Incredible place, completely different from everything I've ever witnessed in nature. Attention to clothes pq really makes cold, was -3C on the day we went to visit. Remember to leave for the last day of the Atacama because of the Altitude.

Great El Tatio Tour, but Be Aware of the Drop-Off Details

5.00The El Tatio tour itself was great and well organized. They picked us up directly from our hotel/Airbnb between 4:30–5:00 a.m., which was very convenient for such an early start. However, everyone was dropped off at one central location, which we were not informed about in advance. The tour included several additional stops, not just the geysers, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It’s also worth noting that the actual tour operator is called Magic, not the booking agent you may reserve through. After visiting the sites, they provided breakfast, which was a nice and interesting touch. Overall, despite the drop-off surprise, I would still recommend this tour for the experience and value.
Great tour of El Tatio

5.00You will see a lot in this 5 hour long tour. It was very educational for children in spite of the long (~90 min) and bumpy ride to get there. I would recommend a motion sickness pill for folks who need it. Breakfast was great, and overall scenery much reminiscent of Iceland. Perfect break from the desert. Felipe was a great guide. Company very cognisant of altitude sickness possibility. Thankfully did not impact us at all, however, it was nice to feel that they put safety above profit. We had rented a vehicle, and this is the only excursion where I'm glad that we did not drive.
Well-organized tour in good hands

5.00Very professional and responsible tourist agency! I made the following two excursions with them in San Pedro de Atacama: The Moon Valley and the Tatio Geysers. They were really nice experiences and the guide always very nice joking. Also as an anecdote, on the last day I realized that I lost a thermal T-shirt in the minibus and quickly contacted them and found it sent to the address indicated in a week.

4.00Hello, It was perfect, a super interesting guide (Kevin) with a lot of knowledge to share and a good playlist on the way to the Geyser 10/10 A guide can make all the difference from a tour and so it was, the only thing we would have liked to have more free time in the Geysers to enjoy freely. Driver Iri, prudent and punctual when it comes to coming for us ^^ Recommended
