[Geysers] Domuyo, Argentina

[TSBryan at aol.com]

In the last few weeks I have gained new information about a number of the 
world's geyser areas -- funny how it always seems to come in bursts. For this 
one, I must again thank Alan Glennon for putting me on the track of this place -- 
another new (to me/us) geyser field. It is at Volcan Domuyo, in Neuquen 
Territory (northern Patagonia), Argentina. I have discovered that:
-- at Villa Aguas Calientes there are geysers (probably at least five) that 
play up to 2 meters. This is on the road where cabins are available (no 
facilities and no electricity, but shelter for 1 to 8 people at a flat rate of $70 
per night);
-- at Los Olletas which is somewhere nearby, there are geysers that erupt as 
high as 1 meter;
-- at El Humazo some 3 miles northeast of Villa Aguas Calientes is an 
extensive area of "fumaroles and boiling springs" with water that is only slightly 
acid to neutral. No geyser was actually described;
-- at La Bramadora about 6 miles beyond El Humazo is at least one (probably 
several) large fumaroles.

The photo here is definitely at Domuyo and, judging by another photo's 
background, probably at Aguas Calientes.
