Tatio Geysers & Machuca Lagoon Trip

We will pick you up from your hotel in San Pedro de Atacama at the scheduled time and proceed to the most significant geothermal site in Chile. After approximately one and a half hours of travel, we arrive at El Tatio geyser field, located over 4,000 meters (13,000 ft) above sea level.
