During the return journey from the Geysers of the Tatio, we will make a short stop at the Vado del Río Putana, a scenic site where travellers can observe flamingos, Andean ducks and other highland birds in their natural habitat, with the imposing Putana volcano as a backdrop. It is a perfect time to take pictures and appreciate the biodiversity of the Chilean highlands.

On the final leg of the tour, we will make a stop in Machuca, a small and picturesque highland town at 4,000 metres above sea level. Travellers can walk along its dirt streets, admire traditional adobe and straw constructions, and visit its charming colonial church. This is also a good place to sample typical products such as llama patties or Andean meat skewers (optional, not included). Our guide will explain the history of this Atacameño community and its adaptation to the harsh conditions of the highlands.
