El Tatio Geysers of San Pedro de Atacama, Chile Travel Video Transcript:
Well, somebody looks all bundled up this morning. I know. Good morning from the chilly Atacama desert. Yesterday, we arrived in San Pedro de Atacama and we booked a tour to visit El Tatio geysers and we had to be up at four in the morning. It was a really early start and now it is probably around seven but it is still freezing but I'm told we're going to get chocolate pancakes plus we're going to see some pretty cool geysers so it should be a really fun outing. I think you're holding out for the pancakes. Pancakes.
So apparently this it he highest geyser field in the whole world. And according to my Lonely Planet there should be around 64 geysers although our guide did mention there is closer to 80. So who knows maybe there are new ones sprouting up.
So now we have twenty minutes stop in a village called Machuca. And there is a new part and an old part to the village. The older construction is over a thousand years old so we are going to go find some of those ruins. There is some churches out here as well. But apparently the civilization has been here for over eight thousand years so that is a long time. That's impressive.
Oh look at you. Look at you so sweet. So sweet. Look at those little eyes. Oh.
You're a flamingo today aren't you? I'm waddling like one too. Actually flamingos don't waddle. But the cherry on top of the cake here for this tour was getting to see flamingos. I was think you know what maybe we're not going to get to see them but right at the last stop yes we get to.
And we're now at our final stop of the tour. We're checking out this really cool gorge that is really green and yeah it has been an awesome tour. We saw some amazing landscapes, lots of wildlife. We ate some tasty pancakes. So yeah, if you're ever traveling around Atacama this is a really fun tour to take.
