El Tatio Geysers in San Pedro de Atacama — FAQ
What are the El Tatio geysers?
El Tatio is a high-altitude geyser field near San Pedro de Atacama, one of the largest in the world, where geysers and fumaroles steam dramatically at sunrise.
Why do El Tatio tours start so early?
The geysers are most active and the steam most spectacular at dawn in the cold air, so tours leave San Pedro very early (around 4–5am) to arrive at sunrise.
How high are the El Tatio geysers?
El Tatio sits at about 4,300m, so it’s very cold at dawn and the altitude is significant — dress warmly and take it easy.
