San Pedro de Atacama - Tatio Geysers


Tatio Geysers
Originally uploaded by louise_parmenter.
Finally, no trip to San Pedro de Atacama is complete without a visit to the Tatio Geysers. The excursion started at 4am with a 2 hour drive to the geysers, at the border with Bolivia. With a temperature of minus 6 degrees we watched the sun rise within this sulphuric environment of steaming geysers, colourful algae and mineral deposits.
Here are the photos.

And here is a video which I think gives you a good idea of the place, except for the bitter cold we felt!


DISTANCE TRAVELED SINCE USHUAIA: 8,695KM
