Spectacular! - The road was rough to get there due to recent rains. It was foggy and cold. Those are the cons. The pros: Spectacular scenery Excellent tour guide (Lucas). He was very knowledgeable, fun and funny. Awesome breakfast! Scrambled eggs that were fresh and piping hot, fresh bread, guacamole, assorted cheeses and lunch meats, fresh fruit and all fixed by our wonderful guide and driver. We saw vicuña, flamingos, black ducks, Andes gulls, and a rabbit with a tail that looked like a cat’s. This was our 3rd tour with this company and I highly, highly recommend them.

Our guide, Victoria, was great - Our guide, Victoria, was great, and the tour was very well run overall. The tour started with a very early pickup at 4:30 a.m., which the guide explained was necessary to better see the steam from the geysers due to the temperature difference. Most geysers look similar, but one eruption was especially impressive. It was also interesting to feel how warm the ground was. We were the first group to enter the park, then continued to see larger geothermal pools. Breakfast was included (eggs, fruit, avocado, juice, coffee, and tea). We also stopped to see flamingos and the Río Putana wetlands with beautiful views of snow-capped mountains. Pickup was very well organized with a group chat and live bus location. Entrance fee is paid separately (cash or WhatsApp link).

Incredible tour! - The experience was simply amazing. Our guide on this tour was João, extremely knowledgeable of the places and always willing to share information, in addition to being very fun, which made the tour even more perfect. The tour started early, going to the Geysers, where we also saw the sunrise. Then we went for breakfast and we were still lucky to see snow in the middle of summer, which made the experience even more special. Then we passed two more stops. Our great thanks to Pukarumi and a special thanks to our guide, John!

Geisers del Tatio - Pukarami. - Amazing! I had never visited a geyser field, so it was an excellent experience! Get ready for the cold. We went in the summer and it was very cold in the Geisers field.
