Atacama The maximum expression of these steamed smokes and water that reaches temperatures of 85°C occurs approximately between 6am and 7am. It emerges from the earth with such force reaching heights between 7 and 8 mts. It's a real sight to see the stream rises accompanied by a sound reminiscent of the old steam locomotives. The Geysers is located in the Andes Mountains at 4,200 meters height and it is surrounded by mountains that reach 5,900 meters. This is another of the precautions that we have to consider because altitude sickness can affect us. Anyway as we already come from San Pedro de Atacama, the body is more used to these heights because In Atacama we are at 2,500 meters. It is not the same height but it helps us to adapt better to this situation. Each dawn appears violent streams of steamed water that stand out against the colorful soil and the blue sky. These beautiful columns moisturise the morning and beautify the place.
