Going to El Tatio Geysers

My last excursion from San Pedro de Atacama was quite an ordeal. I was quite much in doubt whether I should join this one, but it seemed like it was of the mandatory items while in San Pedro. So what was the problem?

1. Tour started 4:30 in the morning. (To get to the site which is 85 km by gravel road from San Pedro by sunrise, since the geysers looks better when hot water condenses in the cold morning air.)
2. It's fricking cold on 4300 metres above sea level by sunrise and I came to South America to escape the cold at home.
3. It was similar to what I saw in the morning on the tour to Volcán Isluga, nevermind that this geyser field is bigger and a lot more powerful.

In the end I went, but I will have to admit that I was a little too tired (and freezing) to really appreciate the site, and that also applies to the nice places we stopped by on the way back to San Pedro. We were home by lunch time and I took a very lazy afternoon.
