Tatio Geysers

5/5

3 Reviews

TodemmyThe altitude here is very high and very cold, but the scenery along the way is beautiful You need to get up early to visit here. It takes a few hours to get there, and the altitude is very high and very cold, so you need to wear more clothes. The geysers themselves are not as spectacular as some geysers in other parts of the world, even though they are the highest. There are many beautiful scenery to enjoy on the way from San Pedro.

Desert

三石Wadi Lun Valley, Jordan-Moon Valley. Wadi Rum, meaning "wine red valley" in Arabic, was the location of the film "Arab Lawrence". Moon Valley is the most similar zone to Mars, with unique geological structure, formed by salt, sand, and clay! With thousands of rocks, cracks, mounds and volcanic crater-like structures, there are thousands of ditches, and nature is amazing! A pick-up truck for 5 people enjoys the view, and the scenery is spectacular!

Lake

M48***13Most of the lakes in the Andes Plateau are lakes formed by the melting water of snow-capped mountains. They are blue and clear. The lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in our country are similar to each other. Because it is located on a plateau, the air is very fresh. When the lake is calm, it will reflect the beauty of the sky and the surrounding snow-capped mountains, which is really very beautiful.

Pukara de Quitor

Historical Site

TodemmyThis trip will take at least three hours. The park has an uphill road with views of the city, Valle de Marte and Atacameñas buildings. At the end of the extension, there is a space to pay tribute to the beheaded attacker. It is not a place normally provided by a travel agency. I went to the hotel manager's instructions. It is worth a visit. Business hours are from 10 am to 5 pm. I don't know if it will be closed for maintenance. The admission fee for adults is 3,000 pesos, and students can show a discount card, even if the card comes from a school in Brazil.

Church of San Pedro de Atacama

Church

乖小咪The Church of San Pedro de Atacama is a monastery with a history of more than 500 years. The color of the entire church building is earthy yellow, which is very old. The interior decoration of the church is very simple, and the triangular roof of the wooden plank is very simple and unpretentious. Maybe this is what the church really looks like, it's worth coming to listen to the chanting quietly.

凹凸曼和小伙伴Uyuni smelly lake play guide Recommendation index🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🦩A must for bird watching, you can see mythical beasts along the way. It can be said that it is a cost-effective route that combines both the god bird and the god animal. 📍Geographical location: On the border of Bolivia and Chile, about 4.5 hours one way from Uyuni. 🚙Mode of transportation: Self-driving 🏞Recommended route: Uyuni chartered tour ⌚️Play time: 10 hours 📷Recommended equipment: a telephoto lens is equipped according to financial resources! 🔺Remember to run in with the camera before you travel, otherwise you will regret it. After all, this thing is heavy and big, and if it doesn't work, it's basically a white back. 👓Clothing suggestions: Sunglasses, sun protection clothing, physical sun protection, shoes with non-slip wear resistance is better. 📝Travel tips: 🔸The weather in Uyuni is unpredictable. I originally wanted to sign up for a three-day tour, but because of the heavy rains, the cactus island channel was flooded, um~ So the most force majeure of the tour is definitely the weather. I finally chose the two-day tour. I suggest you prepare more Several travel options. 🔹Smelly lake is rich in various minerals, especially sulphur, so it smells like eggs. But after a long time, I got used to it. After all, the picnic during the trip was still by the smelly lake. The picnic includes drinks (cola, mineral water), staple food (roast chicken, rice), vegetable salad, and fruit (banana). 🔸Flamingos in high altitude areas are mainly pink, one is the species, and the other is the lack of lutein in the algae in the salt lake. 🔹No matter the beast or bird, they are all super vigilant, without a telephoto lens, and they ran away when they got close.
