The geothermal area around Sol de Mañana extends over ten square kilometers and is between 4800 and 5000m high. Due to the high volcanic activity, there are sulfur springs, bubbling mud pots and holes from which steam is blown up to 50m into the air.
Energy is generated from the steam in a nearby power plant.

An impressive geothermal area at high altitude. The air is thin, it's cold and windy and the whole area is just amazing to look at!

El Sol de Mañana is a desert area of about 2 km² in southern Bolivia in the department of Potosí, south of Laguna Colorada on the way to Salar de Chalviri, at an altitude of 4850 m above sea level, within the Eduardo Abaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve.

This area is characterized by intense volcanic activity (including fumaroles and geysers), in the craters in the region you can see intense boiling mud. In addition, fumaroles and geysers emit mixed vapors of water and hot steam, which reach heights of 10 to 50 meters due to the pressure with which they are expelled.
