Geisers El Tatio - It's a nice trip to the desert very early in the morning. (Don’t think about it, sleep well before, they will come by you 4am to see the wonder of geysers) after a journey of about 1hr you arrive at the geysers and then a rich breakfast. It's worth it.

A must if you are in the region - A great experience.
It's worth getting up early.
The Fuhrer was great, but his English was still expandable.
The price is quite high, but without a tour guide I would not recommend the tour.
