Geysers

Bolivia


About 7km (1½ hours on foot) due west of Sajama is an interesting spouting geyser field. It makes for a great hike from Sajama. Take the road downhill from the plaza and continue straight; the route is signposted. The geysers steam and sporadically spout water throughout the day.
