Review of the El Tatio Geysers tour from San Pedro, with sunrise steam, flamingos, breakfast, altitude advice, costs, and practical tips.

“Great trip out to the Geysers. Our guide, George, was very informed and the journey back seeing the flora, fauna and local communities was also super interesting. Make sure you have layers on that you can remove as the day warms up. You will need 2 layers minimum on legs and 3 on body. Hat and gloves vital. Trainers are fine on feet.”

He was funny, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and passionate as he showed us the best of the lagoons and flamingos on a tour of about 400 kilometres. The first stop was just before sunrise where we had a good breakfast (Daniel makes terrific scrambled eggs) as the sun came up outside the Chaxa Lagoon, home of flamingos. It was beautiful as were all of the sights we saw later in the mountains. There were plenty of vicuna and seeing rhea was a bonus. A good lunch was provided and we were back in San…”
