Journey details
Este tour semiprivado de madrugada, con máximo 8 personas, te lleva a uno de los campos geotérmicos más altos del mundo. Salimos desde San Pedro antes del amanecer y viajamos hacia los Géiseres del Tatio, donde las columnas de vapor emergen del paisaje altiplánico mientras la primera luz ilumina la cordillera. Después de recorrer el campo geotérmico junto a tu guía, disfrutamos un desayuno durante la ruta, rodeados de paisajes de altura. En el regreso realizamos paradas en Vado de Putana y Vado de Machuca para observar humedales, volcanes y fauna local como vicuñas, flamencos y otras aves altiplánicas. La ruta finaliza con una visita al pueblo de Machuca, conocido por su iglesia tradicional y opciones de gastronomía local antes de regresar a San Pedro.

Recommendations for your trip
Bring very warm layered clothing: thermal base layer, fleece or warm mid-layer, windproof jacket, hat, gloves, thick socks and closed shoes. Temperatures can be below freezing before sunrise. Also bring sunglasses, sunscreen, at least 1 liter of water and any personal medication you may need. This tour reaches high altitude, so we recommend avoiding alcohol the night before and having a light dinner.
