Located on the Andean mountain range, 99 kilometers from San Pedro de Atacama, these geysers form from the contact of the volcanic magma with the underground cold water, thus forming an intense vapor subdued to high pressure and searching for an escape through the fissures of the earth ...

Geothermic field located 4.320 meters above sea level. The water vapor surfaces through fissures in the earth's cortex, reaching a temperature of 85ºC. At dawn, with temperatures below zero, you can witness an extraordinary and amazing sight, generated by violent flows of vapor that reach a height of up to 10 meters. 40 geysers, 60 springs, and 70 "fumarolas" that extend over 3 square kilometers form this geothermic field.

In 1960, CORFO started a project to use this geothermic energy to generate electricity, but the results did not guarantee financial profit. The only thing left from this is the camp that remains intact and receives the visit of scientist as well as tourists. The geysers are undoubtably one of the most spectacular sites.
