First stop in Chile was San Pedro de Atacama. Interesting place after a little while in Bolivia; almost Western and WAY more expensive. Enjoyed the return of some mod-cons though. Landscape hadn´t changed though. It´s in the middle of the Atacama desert (driest place in earth, which helped with the camping of course… nobody enjoys camping when it rains, I don´t care what they say… yes, even if they´re from Scotland) and has all the associated goodies: salt flats, geysers, moon like scenery, etc.

We did a tour of the Moon Valley as it´s known which had some cool rock formations and some great views of the chain of vulcanoes that make up the Andes around there. Sunset was also nice (although a little sandy, got to love wind in the desert)…
