Stop At: Geyser del Tatio, 174a Caracoles, San Pedro de Atacama 1410000 Chile

At 4500 meters high you can feel the heat the almost 70 craters that compound the El Tatio valley emanate. These are one of the main expressions of the Chilean volcanic activity, and a sample of how the hot water gets stuck in the subsoil but remains heating with the high temperatures underground, where lava deposits still remain.
When you arrive in the early morning, you walk blind, only guided by the stones tracing the paths and the noises of the geysers. When the sunlight starts to come out in the valley, you slowly distinguish the white steam and crystalline water getting expelled, and the sub-zero temperatures that cover your body going away.
After millions of years, this natural monument is still looking for the attention of the people who walk through its trails with either the steam that relentlessly comes out of the craters, or with the water released, making a sight literally unique in South America.
