San Pedro de Atacama

I wasn't sure if I was in a post-apocalyptic futuristic desert town or somewhere in time about a hundred years ago.  San Pedro de Atacama, set in the desert in northern Chile, is at the cross road to Bolivia and full of back packers. A wonderful place. Here are some pictures.




I took a tour of Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley) which ended with stunning sunset views of the Atacama desert.  







The next day was an early rise. Pick-up at 4.30 am to see the geysers before sunrise. The activity decreases after sunrise as the ice melts and the day rapidly heats up.




Followed by a visit to a National Reserve Park where the views and wildlife were stunning.
