Full description
El Tatio (from the Kunza “tata-iu”) which means “the grandfather who cries”, is one of the highest Geyser fields in the world. Located in the Cordillera de Los Andes to the NE of San Pedro de Atacama, it is the largest group of geysers in the southern hemisphere and the third largest in the world, after Yellowstone (USA) and Dolina Giezerow (Russia).
The maximum expression of these fumaroles begins between 6am and 7am approx. With temperatures reaching 85 C. On our return, it is possible to observe fauna such as vicuñas, llamas, rheas, vizcachas, etc. While in the flora stands out the giant cacti, llaretas, coirón, etc. We will observe from a viewpoint, the small ancestral town of Machuca, its few inhabitants are mainly dedicated to grazing and cheese production, very close to the place is the Laguna Salada where families of flamingos, ducks and seagulls live with an imposing landscape of beauty.
