Because of its desert climate, San Pedro de Atacama has two facets: freezing nights and days of springtime. It becomes difficult to envisage anything serious when the sun shines its first rays of morning. We just want to do nothing to capture this heat and emerging as a blessing. That's what we do during a late breakfast in the canis. Between heat and farninente, so good.
The afternoon is more active as we go to visit the Valley of the Moon. This will be the only attraction that we see here. Other resembling near and far that we've seen in Bolivia, we find it unnecessary to overdose desert.
Valley of the Moon that's good. But with a guide is better. So much for the explanations. We content ourselves with a driver who seems to know the penalty area. Bathed in sunshine, the scenery is magnificent. Too bad I can not download any more pictures because we took lot. Everything is a call to the picture: the colors are as rich as the soil abounds in various minerals. The white salt. The red sun, yellow sand, ... The light is playful. It creates reliefs and shadows constantly different as a naked body posing on a beach of white sand. The setting is exceptional at distant snowcapped volcanoes rise above the horizon like mirages. Final stage our trip, we climb a dune huge transports us directly in the Sahara. From above, summarizes the view a bit throughout the region of San Pedro: we are surrounded by sand dunes and volcanic rocks in the supernatural forms. A huge amphitheater of sand rises on our right. In front, the sun still burns its last rays. On the left there are the blinding white of the Salar de Atacama. Behind us, volcanoes and redden their convolutions bristle in a last salute the sun. We are overwhelmed by the whole strength mineral that breathes and does resplendent than the sun. When King
sun disappears, everything disappears. It is now cold. Very cold. Rest in peace, snowcapped mountains and volcanoes ...
Desert and Volcano in a purely mineral decor.
