Mobile ticket

Discover the third largest geothermal field in the world and the largest in the southern hemisphere in the Atacama Desert. At 13,780 feet (4,200 meters) above sea level, the Tatio Geysers are a natural wonder that will take your breath away, in more ways than one.

Depart early in the morning, before sunrise, after pickup from your hotel. Arrive early at the geysers for a chance to observe the contrast between sunrise and steam from the heat of the magma-affected waters.

After sunrise, savor a full breakfast of bread, cheese, ham, scrambled eggs, coffee, chocolate, milk, and jam. After you've eaten, spend more time exploring the 80 geysers around the national park.

From there, ride through the Putana Valley. See endemic flora and fauna, and stop at a lagoon to see flamingos before heading back to your hotel.

It was a good half day tour, I was not as jaw dropped as others as I have visited Yellowstone but it was still worth the visit. The snow capped mountains at the backdrops of the geysers makes a beautiful scenery. There was quick stop in a village while coming back, take a stroll and you will find a vendor selling grilled alpaca skewers. It was delicious.
Amazing time, wild vistas, great guide & driver

Francisco was an amazing guide, and David was an excellent driver. This is a must-see if you're in the region, and hopefully you're lucky enough to get Francisco and David.
Great experience- would recommend

It’s an early start, but is well worth it. Our tour guide (Lucas) was great. Very professional and did an excellent job dealing with a few cases of altitude sickness in the group. The breakfast was really good too- would definitely recommend
80 geysers!

Incredible to see all the geysers, steaming and bubbling! Well worth the 4:30 start time. Very good breakfast provided at a wonderful overlook. Francisco was a wonderful guide, funny, kind, and very informative. David, our driver, was also terrific.
Highly recommended

What an amazing tour! Early start that is so worth it. Francisco was an amazing guide sharing his knowledge and ensuring that all the group was ok at all times especially given the altitude. Breakfast was also great with beautiful view over the mountains and geysers. Our driver (can't remember his name) was great as well.
