Nice
It is very pretty, the trip is long and a lot of dirt.
The place is beautiful, it is too cold., it is like to contemplate it from the car.

Nos alegra saber que disfrutó de la belleza del lugar. Sabemos que el trayecto suele ser extenso y que las bajas temperaturas, especialmente en las primeras horas de la mañana, forman parte de esta experiencia. Aun así, esperamos que los paisajes hayan hecho que el viaje valiera la pena.

Congratulations to guide Manuel from agency Layana
Today, I went with my girlfriend on the Geyser tour with guide Manuel from agency Layana.
A 7.0 in every sense. Concerned about the altitude sickness, he provided historical data and took photos of the group we were with.
We had already had a tour with him last year, and his level of dedication is tremendous.
If we go back again, we will request Layana and Miguel as our guides!

¡Muchísimas gracias por su hermosa reseña!
Nos alegra enormemente saber que nuevamente disfrutaron la experiencia junto a Manuel. Su dedicación, preocupación por cada pasajero, sus conocimientos y la pasión con la que realiza cada tour son cualidades que valoramos profundamente.
Le haremos llegar sus palabras. Estamos seguros de que le harán muy feliz. Será un placer recibirlos nuevamente en San Pedro de Atacama. 🌵✨
PD: ¡Creemos que al final quisieron decir Manuel en lugar de Miguel! 🤭

Interesting
The Tatio Geysers are very interesting with a stunning landscape. The cold and the start time of the tour are the inconveniences.
Operator response
Muito obrigado pelo seu comentário!
Ficamos felizes em saber que gostou dos Gêiseres do Tatio e da paisagem. Sobre o horário, ele é necessário, pois é nas primeiras horas da manhã que os gêiseres estão mais ativos e o fenômeno é mais intenso.
Esperamos recebê-lo novamente em San Pedro de Atacama. 🌵✨

A good visit to an otherworldly location
Efficient and knowledgeable tour guide and driver. The geysers are interesting and the landscape on the drive back down is stunning. Breakfast was good. Be warned that it is VERY cold at the geysers (minus 7 degrees Celsius in mid/late March).
Operator response

The best travel agency in San Pedro de Atacama
I came to Layana on the advice of a friend and it was the best decision. Manu and Andrea were our guides on the tours, demonstrating knowledge of the place and integrating us into the Atacamenha culture. The meals are excellent and the transfers comfortable, with large vehicles (14 people) for personalized groups, making the tours more enjoyable. I hope to be back soon. Greetings to the team.

Nice place to visit
It is the third most geyser place in the world so if you haven't seen any you have to go.
When we went there was only one intermittent, the rest were fixed.
You have to go first thing, when it dawns you can hardly see the fumaroles anymore.
Operator response
¡Muchas gracias por su comentario!
Es cierto, los Geysers del Tatio son uno de los campos geotérmicos más increíbles del mundo y una experiencia única. El horario temprano del tour es fundamental, ya que es durante las primeras horas de la mañana cuando las fumarolas y la actividad de los géiseres son más visibles e intensas.
Esperamos recibirle nuevamente en San Pedro de Atacama. 🌵✨

One of the best tours - Must do
Loreto and her team were fabulous about everything - punctuality, checking with group about washroom stops, introducing us to different characters of geysers, sharing astonishing historical information about the place, breakfast, etc. We all connected well, and felt very satisfied at the end of the tour.
Operator response

Close to the geyser at 4,200 m
We had a great tour to the geysers thanks to the great care team of Loretto and the two Daniels.
Impressive natural spectacle of geysers and interesting information with lots of charm make this tour unforgettable. Welcome additions were breakfast with phenomenal views and some sightings of desert animals.
Tip: be sure to follow the tips for acclimatization, the altitude of 4,200 m is strongly noticeable.
Operator response
Vielen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Bewertung!
Es freut uns sehr, dass die Tour mit Loreto und den beiden Daniels für Sie unvergesslich war. Schön, dass Ihnen die Geysire, die Informationen sowie das Frühstück mit Aussicht gefallen haben.
Vielen Dank auch für den hilfreichen Tipp zur Akklimatisierung. Die Höhe ist tatsächlich ein wichtiger Faktor.
Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder in San Pedro de Atacama begrüßen zu dürfen. 🌵✨
