4.00The Tatio Geysers are very interesting with a stunning landscape. The cold and the start time of the tour are the inconveniences.
A good visit to an otherworldly location

4.00Efficient and knowledgeable tour guide and driver. The geysers are interesting and the landscape on the drive back down is stunning. Breakfast was good. Be warned that it is VERY cold at the geysers (minus 7 degrees Celsius in mid/late March).

5.00I came to Layana on the advice of a friend and it was the best decision. Manu and Andrea were our guides on the tours, demonstrating knowledge of the place and integrating us into the Atacamenha culture. The meals are excellent and the transfers comfortable, with large vehicles (14 people) for personalized groups, making the tours more enjoyable. I hope to be back soon. Greetings to the team.
Nice place to visit

5.00It is the third most geyser place in the world so if you haven't seen any you have to go. When we went there was only one intermittent, the rest were fixed. You have to go first thing, when it dawns you can hardly see the fumaroles anymore.
One of the best tours - Must do

5.00Loreto and her team were fabulous about everything - punctuality, checking with group about washroom stops, introducing us to different characters of geysers, sharing astonishing historical information about the place, breakfast, etc. We all connected well, and felt very satisfied at the end of the tour.
Close to the geyser at 4,200 m

5.00We had a great tour to the geysers thanks to the great care team of Loretto and the two Daniels. Impressive natural spectacle of geysers and interesting information with lots of charm make this tour unforgettable. Welcome additions were breakfast with phenomenal views and some sightings of desert animals. Tip: be sure to follow the tips for acclimatization, the altitude of 4,200 m is strongly noticeable.
Unique experience
