Seismic introduction to the Geyser del Tatio - An early morning collection from our hostal by our friendly and accommodating guide Alberto, who happily guided us through our trip in both English and Spanish, taking time to explain the geography behind the story of the geysers, the significance of the geysers to the indigenous peoples, and also how we might react to being at a high altitude ~4,300m and what to do should any of us feel dizzy. The drive up the mountain pass in the morning darkness gave those of us sat near the window to gaze upwards into the night sky and the constellations. Greeted on arrival by a passing local Andean fox or paramo wolf, who stopped off on his early morning stroll to drink from a small pool of water, we then entered the park taking the short walk from the car park to the first of the geysers. It really is worth the early start to experience the steam in the very earliest morning light, which creates such an atmospheric feeling. Alberto took us across the park to the numerous geysers, providing plenty of time to observe the geysers and take photos. Afterwards, Alberto took us on a short drive to neighbouring high point for a light breakfast with bread, meats, cheeses and fresh coffee - but more importantly a spectacular view of the snowy high peaks of the Bolivian high plateau and the green valleys around the area where the vicuña grace. The drive back to San Pedro took in the beautiful landscape including a stop to observe flamingo wading through the lakes in their search for brine shrimp. Alberto helpfully explaining to us the various species of flamingo we were observing and the other bird life too. We were driven back to our hostal to conclude a fantastic day filled with spectacular views. Highly recommended!

Meeting the Andes is a fantastic experience, a multitude of environments and cultures. - Beautiful landscapes, good preservation, very attentive guide and knowing what it says. The mountain climb, altiplano, the proximity of the peaks is fantastic.

Cerro Toco Summit - The high altitude is no joke! Carlos, our guide was awesome. He really kept everyone motivated to make it to the summit. He was high energy , and you can tell he loves his job! I highly recommend this tour

Alberto the guide very cool, super attentive, pending all his group - Alberto the guide very good vibes, super attentive, watchful of his whole group, in the super attentive meals and snacks, has a good attitude and makes the trip pleasant

Great! - Excellent guide and wonderful experience! Wonderful scenery and a 1000/10 breakfast! I totally recommend!

Unforgettable - It will be really very very cold in the valley before the sunrise, so do’t disregard the advice to take warm winter clothe

Geysers OK, but Spanish!!!!! - The geysers were great, but the commentary mainly in Spanish, even though the guide could speak English. So a bit more English would have been appreciated.

Nice Tour of El Tatio - Nice trip, really cold in am, make sure to get warm clothing. Tour guide was nice, a little rushed though.
