Tatio Geysers
Geysers are amazing natural phenomena that occur in certain geothermal areas of the world, such as the Tatio Geyser in San Pedro de Atacama. These natural wonders are formed when hot underground water comes into contact with volcanic rocks and magma, creating a combination of pressure and temperature that causes the intermittent expulsion of water and steam to the surface. The result is a spectacular display of columns of hot water and steam rising into the air, accompanied by impressive sounds and jets. Visiting the geysers not only allows you to witness this stunning spectacle, but also to experience the geothermal energy of the Earth and appreciate its natural beauty in a unique setting.
