San Pedro de Atacama - El Tatio Geysers | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Carolin and Cornelia at 6am and about zero degrees - our first hot tea in the morning | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
At an altitude of 4300m, El Tatio Geyers is the world's highest geyser field. Tours to this place 95km north of Atacama leave at 4am in the morning - a crime if you ask me. Especially because when you arrive, it's still so dark you don't see anything anyway! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Nearby there is a hot spring and if you manage to force yourself to take your clothes off (come prepared, there are no changing rooms!), you are rewarded with a fine hot bath. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I liked these little grass tussocks, they somehow looked like troll punkheads | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We continued the tour to a small village and on the way ran into a small herd of lamas; the young ones were sooo cute! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This pictures shows the village - and I mean the whole village we visited on this tour. The big white building is the church. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Locals in their backyard | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The busy main street of this highly populated metropolis with no less than seven inhabitants! The rest has reportedly left to other places - well, who can blame them?? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
These two guys took it a little further and had lama shashlik on a stick while being photographed with the deceased's brother.
I didn't know them yet but we would end up travelling together in Bolivia! |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
One of the attractions of this place, was a lama you could stand close to in order to take a picture. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
