Activity itinerary

Geyser del Tatio

  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
The experience begins at the Tatio Geysers, one of the most impressive geothermal fields in the Chilean altiplano. We will arrive during the early morning hours to observe the fumaroles and steam columns in the middle of a spectacular landscape surrounded by mountains and volcanoes. The travellers will tour the area accompanied by their guide, who will explain the characteristics of this extraordinary natural environment. After the visit, we will enjoy breakfast before continuing our tour of the altiplano.

Vado Río Putana

  • 30m
We will make a panoramic stop at Vado Río Putana, a beautiful high Andean bofedal where the water and vegetation create a surprising contrast with the arid landscape of the Andes Mountains. From this point, travellers can view the surroundings, take photographs, and, depending on the day's conditions, observe typical high-altitude fauna, such as vicuñas and different bird species. It is an ideal stop to appreciate nature and understand the importance of these wetlands for the wildlife of one of the driest regions on the planet.

Machuca

  • 30m
We will visit Machuca, a small Andean town located at more than 4,000 metres altitude and characterised by its traditional constructions and altiplano landscape. Travellers will be able to see its picturesque church of traditional architecture, built with materials from the area, and enjoy a short walk through the town. They will also have the opportunity to learn about some of the local gastronomy and, if they wish, try traditional llama meat anticuchos, available for purchase for an additional cost and subject to availability. It is an opportunity to get closer to the customs and traditions of the communities of the Atacameño altiplano.
