Gesyer del Tatio.
Counted the tourist vans in - 45 went past starting from 05:30!
We then drove to the pass at 4320m alt. and waited for them to all leave.
Used melted snow to make our tea for the day.
Meet an American couple travelling. Plans were talked about travel the Laguna Rd in Bolivia together. Depends when the border is open.
Had a swim in the thermal pool and then lunch. Chatted to a tour group parked near us. We ended up with the left over food. Gave half to the American couple. Food was all pre-packaged which makes sense as no supermarkets in town.

Back to San Pedro de
Atacama as other roads still closed.
Then up 1 km in a
long slow climb. Pulled off the side for a fantastic view of San Pedro
valley.
