Located at 4300 m, in the high valley of El Tatio, the geyser field is the highest in the world. It steams, bubbles and hisses from dozens of holes in the ground. In the morning there is no wind, so the smoke rises straight up and the whole thing looks even more spectacular.
We drove by rental car, the route is beautiful. Driven carefully and attentively, it is easily doable. We got there around 12pm and had the whole area to ourselves.

It is advisable to go by Tour, because the road is somewhat bad (gravel) in some sectors. The entrance to the venue costs $15,000.-. Ideally, arrive early to see them in all their splendor, as the temperature rises, they are less distinguishable. Go warm

The geothermal field extends over 30 square kilometers. It is the third largest geyser field in the world. The world's largest collection of geysers is found in Yellowstone National Park, followed by the Dolina Geiserow in Kamchatka, Russia. El Tatio is home to an estimated 8% of all geysers on earth. It is also the highest geyser field on earth. It is located at an average altitude of 4320 m. Due to the altitude and the resulting reduced air pressure, the water here boils at around 86 degrees Celsius.

Most of the geothermal phenomena are concentrated in 3 areas. 67 geysers have been discovered, of which around 30 erupt regularly. Only a few geysers produce water fountains up to 10 m high, while the pressure in the others is just enough to spew water up to 1 m high.

The activity is particularly spectacular at sunrise: due to the low morning temperatures - minus 20 degrees is not uncommon at this altitude - you can see it steaming heavily. In addition, the area is home to 85 fumaroles and solfataras, 62 hot springs, 5 mud volcanoes and extensive sinter terraces. The exact number of post-volcanic phenomena not only varies depending on the author, but is also subject to the dynamic processes of the hydrothermal system. Old springs dry up, and new ones emerge elsewhere.

Attempts to install geothermal energy plants failed due to the remoteness of the area and a lack of infrastructure. So far, the geysers have remained largely intact and are a tourist attraction. Anyone who wants to visit the geysers has to pay an entrance fee.
