Unbelievably, we rise at 5am(sic) for our 5:30(am) departure for the gysers. We have been told the temp would be -15C, which turns out to be a lie as it is a balmy +3C. Our guide tells us to be careful as a few months earlier a Belgian tourist had fallen into the boiling waters and nicely poached herself with a negative outcome. Anyway we were quite alone apart from the thousands of milling tourists. The area was like being inside a massive coffee percolator.
After observing the bubbling water we had a breakfast prepared for us by our guide and driver.
There had been 3 cancellations on our excursion so R and I were forced to eat breakfast for 5 people.
On the return journey we managed to spot fine examples of Chilean wildlifes.
