Courtney L, Jun 2016

Our tour guide was great!! One of the best we've had. It is freezing, so wear a lot of layers. Geysers are absolutely beautiful and set in a crater between mountains, but don't expect a large show of activity similar to Yellowstone in the US. Mostly just steam from them. Hot springs are more like luke warm, so not ideal if you visit in the winter. Try the llama at Machuca it's delicious!

The place is great. Strongly...

The place is great. Strongly recommend go visiting the place. The local operator was not the best. Is a very cold place and the breakfast was on the cold side. There were other local operators better prepared.

A very well-passed morning! But cuidad, it's too cold

Ricardo_S, Sep 2025

Excellent! The tour begins with a tour of the volcanic site of Geisers de Tatio. It starts very early, before sunrise with temperatures of around -10/-7°C. It's too cold but if you're well choked it's calm! Then we go to a lagoon from where we can observe the volcano Putana that still keeps activity with gas release. We stopped in Machuca, a small village with a pretty little church. To finish, we stop at the Flamingo Lagoon where you can (if you are lucky) see these birds quite close. Our guide Duncan was excellent!
