About the experience

Before dawn, we begin our private trip to the Tatio Geysers. While the plateau awakens, we will contemplate the force of the earth among fumaroles, colors and unique landscapes. Along the way we will pause to observe the local flora and fauna, enjoying each moment calmly, and then share a delicious breakfast in the middle of nature. To close the experience, we will go to relax in the hot springs of the Puritama nature reserve, or we will enjoy a light trek to the Giant Cactus Valley.

“Cris, thank you so much for guiding my wife and I through one of the biggest challenges of our lives. We are not athletes and have little experience on high altitude trails, and yet you guided us with confidence, attention and safety to the top of Cerro Toco. In addition to leading us with a lot of love, kindness and good conversation on the way there and back. I wish you and your wife much success in your journey leading On the Road. A big hug from Brazil!”
