"Altiplano"


11 of 12

A blue sky at sunrise colors the reflections in Sol de Mañana, a fumarole field located at 16,000 ft.) along the crest of the Andes near the Chilean border. This is a popular stop for tourists who come at sunrise (aprox 10 cars of 6 passengers each) to see the maximum amount of steam from the sulfurous geothermal fumes. These are bubbling, spitting, and hissing mud pots, but not geysers.
