Additional Information
Situated ninety kilometers away from San Pedro de Atacama is the Geiser del Tatio, a distinct 10-square-kilometer geothermal field recognized as one of the most significant globally and the loftiest in the world (4,200 masl). Here, one can observe geysers that emit steam, water, mud, and more, reaching a height of over 15 meters, effectively serving as gigantic kettles of water heated to 85 degrees. The spectacle of light created by the rising sun, complemented with its stunning colours and vista, is truly awe-inspiring.

Different experience - It was the most different tour in Atacama. It's very interesting, but I think agencies could spend more time on this attraction, especially because the places that are visited afterwards are not fun at all.
The tours go there very early (they leave at 4:00 am) so that the visit takes place before the sun rises. The road that goes there is in terrible condition, but it is a trip that I consider unmissable for anyone visiting Atacama.

Geysers - Amazing tour!
Extraordinary place, seeing the Geysers and then having breakfast looking at the mountains was incredible.
Thank you to the guide Nicolas from the Pukarumi company, for explaining the phenomenon so well.

Los Geysers del Tatio, an excursion that cannot be absent on a trip to San Pedro de Atacama. - The visit to the Geysers is not comparable to any photo or video you have ever seen.
Depending on the tour operating company, you will have an excellent experience. I recommend Turismo Gato Andino and the guide Constanza, who was amazing!

Excellent agency and Geyser is worth visiting! - Excellent agency! Elias and Victor were super helpful, friendly and offered us tours that exceeded our expectations!
Punctual and great communication, we met in person to give us initial instructions when we arrived in Atacama since we booked all the tours with them and they were super helpful during the tours.
We only did one tour with a large group and the rest with a small group, which made all the difference!
For the Geyser tour we left the hotel at 5am, but it was totally worth it!!

Divine Dawn - Wonderful place with fantastic landscapes. Seeing, at dawn, the water vapor, with the sun's rays shining through them is a unique experience. thousand note

Magical Desert Chile - Wonderful, it exceeded my expectations and I 100% recommend the Atacama magic agency, excellent guides Cristina and Mauricio. Unmissable tour of Lagiunas Altiplanicas and Geysers of Tatio. I will return I loved it!!!

Geyser gets sick - If you get travel sickness, be prepared, because in addition to the altitude, the path to the geysers has a lot of curves and gets really sick, even when taking Vonau. I suggest taking something like labirin or meclin first. Not even coca leaves helped. I was super dizzy and nauseous for two days.

Tour operator didn't turn up - Tour operator advised hotel pick up between 05:00 and 05:30 but didn't turn up. I tried contacting the operator the day before and also on the day of the tour via the Viator messaging but got no response. Very disappointed. I got a refund but no explanation why they didn't turn up.

DON'T FALL FOR THIS SCAM - TERRIBLE AGENCY - If Chile Conectado was once good, it is no longer good. I went on the recommendation of friends who had already taken trips with them in the past, but the experience I had was completely the opposite of what they had. The agency is decreasing in size, they are unable to form groups and they would be outsourcing all the tours. I booked 10 tours with them and only 2 were not outsourced, and on those two I didn't have the afternoon cocktail/breakfast in the desert that ALL other agencies offer, and surprisingly, they charge a much lower amount. The prices are the same and sometimes even higher than another well-known agency there that even offers luxury tours on water tours. In short, I paid a lot of money to have bad experiences. DON'T FALL FOR THIS SCAM!
