Geyser camp | Wild Camping

April 18th, 2024 by lostwith4wheels

Slept here in our tent. There is space for one big or two small tents in that pit where the ground is heated by mother earth. At night we had an outside temp of -16°C, inside the tent it was -3°C. The soil heats it up pretty well. A bit of wind protection inside that pit.
We struggled with the altitude although we did acclimatize.

we spent the night at the sol de manana geysers parking lot. even at night in summer temperatures drop below zero. if you tolerate altitude well this is the ideal spot to see the geysers early in the morning. the tourist guides arrive at 6:30 a.m. and around 9 a.m. there is no one there. no tourist visits during the day but at the end of the afternoon there are tours again.

nous avons passé la nuit au parking des geysers sol de manana. la nuit même en été les températures descendent en dessous de zéro. si vous supportez bien l’altitude c’est le spot idéal pour voir les geysers tôt le matin. les guides touristiques arrivent dés 6h30 et vers 9 h il n’y a plus personne. pas de visites touristiques en journée mais en fin d’après midi il y a de nouveau des tours.

If u come here by bicycle use the marked location. The floor is really warm at night and I started to sweat. The wind might be an issue, I had worse on other places along the lagunas route. Cool experience to camp so high with a warm tent.
the only downside is the sand, which gets blown everywhere.

Slept in the geyser parking lot. It was very cold and windy and the altitude was the highest I’ve slept so it was a restless night. Tour groups start arriving at 5:45 am.

We slept here and it was our coldest night ever !
- 12°C. If you can take many hot cloth/blanket !
Practical to have access to toilet all the time.
Be careful about the zorros (little fox) they are aggressive and come especially when you’re cooking.

Dormimos una noche al lado de los geysers y fue un placer despertarnos con este paisaje con los colores del amanecer. En la noche cae como a 0grados, pero vale la pena. Conseguimos llegar hasta allí en nuestro motorhome a pesar del caminito lleno de rocas.

We wanted to spend the night here next to the abandoned house, all the tourist went home before sunset and the wind also calmed down in the late evening. Unfortunately I had a bad case of altitude sickness since it’s 4900+m so we left around midnight and went to the canyon spot near laguna colorada. But if you don’t have this problem it’s a nice place for the night.

Great place and worth to overnight here even though very cold and high up. Before 6 am you have the place for yourself so get up early. No facilities, no reception

We slept here in our motorhome for one night (next to the géiser where tourists trucks parks). Nice and quiet place, but really cold. Here you are at 4.900 msnm. We get up at 6am to enjoy the géiser without wind (at the same time the tourists starts to arrive).
NOTICE: At 8am the géiser doesn’t look the same, so we recommend get up early. It worst it 😀

Dormimos una noche acá en el motorhome (al lado del géiser donde paran las camionetas de las excursiones). Lugar lindo y tranquilo, pero hace mucho frío 🥶 acá estás a 4.900msnm. Nos levantamos a las 6am para disfrutar del géiser sin viento (a esa misma hora comenzaron a llegar los turistas).
NOTA: a las 8am el géiser ya lo de veía igual, muchas fumarolas habían desaparecido; así que te recomendamos levantarte temprano

50m from the geysers there is an old building for some wind protection. Inside is full of human poo but in front is good and maybe the only safe place for pitch a tent. Not really cold night "water on my bike wasn't frozen" and awesome sunrise even is full of tourist
