El Tatio
medium
Getting up early enough to leave at 4 o'clock does not sound like my idea of fun. But that's what one does when going to the Geysers of El Tatio. The first hours are also spent freezing, but then the Sun comes up and all is long forgotten. Apart from the awesome images that were observed before. We also visited the village of Toconao on the way back, and had some lama kebab. Yummie.
