Jessa's Chilean Adventure
Photo 63 of 74
4am, at El Tatio to observe the geysers
There are over 100 geysers, which burst forth just before sunrise every morning. As they exit the frozen earth with strange gurgling subterranean sounds, they thrust their columns of steam high into the air. Some are wide, boiling pools, while others resemble mini-volcanoes with cones of bright yellow mineral deposits. We had to be very careful not to step too close; there have been a total of 3 fatal accidents. The display dies down at about 10am until the next morning.
