El Tatio's Geysers
(Reader Contribution to
7 Most Fascinating Hot Springs on Earth)

El Tatio is a geyser field located within the Andes Mountains of northern Chile at 4,200 meters above mean sea level. Tourists often visit the geysers while touring the nearby Atacama Desert and the village San Pedro de Atacama. "With over 80 active geysers, El Tatio is the largest geyser field in the southern hemisphere and the third largest field in the world, after Yellowstone, USA, and Dolina Giezerov (partially destroyed June 2007), Russia" (Glennon, J.A. and Pfaff, R.M., 2003).
