点评:Must admit - tend to agree with Sean A - ‘More of a bubbler than a gusher’ … there are over 100 of these ‘bubblers’ and just one ‘gusher’.
We took a tour with Alabalti Atacama in a minibus with 14 people and an excellent guide; this all helped the day run smoothly and maximised our time that morning.
Pick up was at a horrendous 4:30-5:10am slot; not impressed with the pick up time window as they must have approximate times for the hotels in San Pedro. You need to go early to see these Geysers at their best - dawn is when you can see the most steam. Most of the Geysers are small with the exception of one.
You arrive around 6:30am and it’s freezing. We were there in January (summer) and it was at least -4c and you get quite cold as there’s quite a bit of standing around. I wore 4 layers, my walking waterproof with hood (bobble hat is good), gloves & hiking boots (although you could get away with trainers). I was getting pretty cold towards the end of the hour - especially my hands! Bear in mind that you are at around 4,300m but everyone felt ok - just keep taking sips of water and eat some biscuits for the sugar.
After this we stopped at a scenic place for breakfast - no loos as this is in the middle of nowhere but a nice spread provided with the sun coming up and gradually thawing you out.
We felt the rest of the trip were filler stops but some reasonable scenery, bit of wildlife and a smallish town where all the buses stop with loos, BBQ & a church!
Back around 11:30am. Whole tour took place around 4,000m so not so good if you don’t cope well with high altitude.
Summary:
If you’ve seen Geysers elsewhere then give it a miss.
翻译:必须承认 - 倾向于同意 Sean A 的观点 - “与其说是喷水器,不如说是气泡器”……这种“气泡器”有 100 多个,而“喷水器”只有一个。
我们乘坐一辆载有 14 名乘客和一名优秀导游的小型巴士,与 Alabalti Atacama 一起游览;这一切都让我们的一天顺利进行,并最大限度地利用了当天上午的时间。
接客时间是糟糕的凌晨 4:30-5:10;对接客时间窗口印象不深,因为他们必须提供圣佩德罗酒店的大致时间。您需要早点去才能看到这些间歇泉的最佳状态 - 黎明时分,您可以看到最多的蒸汽。大多数间歇泉都很小,只有一个除外。
您大约在早上 6:30 到达,天气很冷。我们一月份(夏天)在那里,气温至少是 -4 摄氏度,您会觉得很冷,因为周围有很多人站着。我穿了 4 层衣服,包括带帽的防水徒步服(绒球帽不错)、手套和登山靴(虽然你也可以穿运动鞋)。一个小时后,我感觉非常冷 - 尤其是我的手!请记住,你大约在 4,300 米的高度,但每个人都感觉还好 - 只需继续喝水并吃一些饼干来补充糖分。
之后,我们在一个风景优美的地方停下来吃早餐 - 没有厕所,因为这里地处荒郊野岭,但随着太阳升起,逐渐解冻,我们得到了一份不错的早餐。
我们觉得旅程的其余部分都是临时停留,但有一些不错的风景、一些野生动物和一个小镇,所有的巴士都停在那里,那里有厕所、烧烤和教堂!
大约 11:30 回来。整个旅程在 4,000 米左右进行,所以如果你不能很好地适应高海拔,那就不太好。
总结:
如果你在其他地方看过间歇泉,那就错过它吧。
