About the experience
On this tour you will get to know the largest group of geysers in the Southern Hemisphere. The heat generated by the volcanoes in the region heats the groundwater. In contrast to the very low temperatures on the surface, generous amounts of water vapor are generated and reach the surface through cracks in the earth's crust reaching temperatures of 85ºC and a height of 10 meters. The Tatio Geysers are at 4,300 meters above sea level, which makes them the highest geysers in the world and has more than 80 types of geysers. “El Tatio” means “the grandfather who cries” - in Kunza, language of the Atacama.
