Travel Guide Volcancito

The one that is nicknamed "the small volcano" in Spanish, is a conical geological curiosity of 7 meters high: it is in truth a geyser of bubbling water. Located at the limit of Chile, it dominates an immense desert valley. Rather shy and not very active, the geyser sometimes spurts out its hot waters tinted with an emerald blue-green. From this point, you can also contemplate the peaks among the highest of the Andes, the Bonetes Chico and Grande (6,880 meters), Veladera and Reclus (almost 6,000 meters). To get there, it is better to go through an excursion agency, as the site is difficult to access
