Biking and hiking in San Pedro de Atacama

Another day of travel means another bus story. We decided to take a night bus from Iquique to Calama and then catch a connecting bus to San Pedro de Atacama. Little did we know that the bus arrived in Calama at 4am, and the connecting bus was not for another 4 hours. We had nowhere to sleep, no idea where we were and were all a little groggy. Somehow, we convinced the bus driver to let us sleep on the bus for 1000 pesos (2 bucks) and he drove to the outskirts of town and parked. He locked the...

Where the sun warms the sky

Two marathon bus journies took us from Puerto Montt to San Pedro de Atacama. The first, to Santiago, was a comfortable 12 hours overnight, huge reclining seats, DVDs in English with Spanish subtitles, food and even some lackey to wipe the condensation from the windows in the morning. The second took 26 hours and was less pleasant. Buying tickets at the last minute, there were only two places left on the bus, and we should have wondered why. Once aboard we found out. Our seats were across the ...

Another One Bites the Dust

This past week was quite an adventure in the Atacama Desert. Our group had an early flight out of Santiago at around 7 a.m. That meant that we left Viņa at about 4 a.m. to get to the airport. Needless to say, the day started out with a group completely worn out. We flew into Calamas, and then we drove 2 hours to the small, dusty, tourist town of San Pedro de Atacama. Next we divided up into two groups and boarded some buses to "view the Cordillera del Sal," a really big area with "formations....

The desert

We've done three trips into the desert, to see the salt flats and a geyser field at 14000 ft. The camera is working overtime! The first day we went to Death Valley, reminding us of the Montana badlands. One new experience was walking down a sand dune, I thought it would be difficult but in fact it was reasonably easy taken slowly, it felt rather like walking in slow motion. In the evening we went to Moon Valley to watch the sunset. There is a large rock formation called the three sisters - or...

... visiting the geys**s. We can see into Chile, Bolivia and Argentina as all three bord**s meet 20km from wh**e we stand. To the East we can see the Bolivian salt flats, wh**e we will be tomorrow, that stretch away to the horizon. Th**e is v**y little precipitation in this part of the World and the peaks of the Andes are clear of snow as they frame the pictures in ev**y direction. The views are completely absorbing and we spend 40 minutes soaking it all up whilst trying to ...

San Pedro - Laguna Ceja

We organised a tour with ´Chile Adventura´on Tocapillo to Laguna Cejar (3pm - 8pm CLP10,000). The tour was fun and a great place to see but probably one you can cut out if you only have a few days. The idea is to swim in the lagoon as it is extremely salty hence you float, but today was fairly cold and super windy. I wasnt convinced but the tour guide assures us it is ´´warmer in the middle´´ haha. I was in and out in a flash and Dan stayed in for about ten minutes. When I ...

Geysers, stars, sand and farewell Chile!

... we arrived here she had quite a nifty fever going on. So instead of hitting the mountain bikes on day 1, it was bed for most of the day and a visit to the local clinic that afternoon. <br><br>Ang was no better the next day and her fever was pretty potent by then (I could feel her radiating heat from half a meter away!) so as soon as our tour to the geysers ended I threw everything together, cancelled everything we'd booked and spent a ...

San Pedro to Uyuni Jeep Tour

... From here we visited three more lagoons before breaking for lunch although Celia was still suffering from the altitude so did not eat. After lunch we visited another lagoon and saw a volcano before driving across very bumpy mountain tracks to arrive at our hostel for the second night. This hostel was in a small village and was a bit more comfortable, we even got our own private room! There were hot showers which we had to pay for but it ...
