★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 943 reviews · 7 hours · from $70Our pick

Review of the El Tatio Geysers tour from San Pedro, with sunrise steam, flamingos, breakfast, altitude advice, price, and practical tips.

“Great trip out to the Geysers. Our guide, George, was very informed and the journey back seeing the flora, fauna and local communities was also super interesting. Make sure you have layers on that you can remove as the day warms up. You will need 2 layers minimum on legs and 3 on body. Hat and gloves vital. Trainers are fine on feet.”

We went on the tour during a full moon week (which was advertised during booking) - meaning we could not see as many stars as normal, but our guides put on an excellent tour still! We learned all about the history of astronomy and saw some great constellations! We had some good snacks and took some great pictures. I have never seen such a beautiful moon! I would definitely recommend!”
