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 Viña 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...

Moon Valley

... perfekt gestimmt. Wir koennen uns fast nicht satt sehen, nur wir vier Menschlein in mitten einer riesigen Kuhle, alles ist maeuschen still, der Mond steigt majestaetisch hoeher und hoeher - so erhaben schoen.
Trotz der Schoenheit muessen wir uns losreissen und weiter - wir haben noch ein happiges Stueck zu laufen, trotz Mondschein nicht ganz einfach und ziemlich ermuedend.

24 hours in San Pedro (Sophie)

... nowhere near the main square, and making friends with two Chileans who live in tents in the backyard of where we stayed.

Most of the people in our hostel had headed out to the hot springs, which were 20 US dollars each, leaving Evan and I, quite happily, sharing a liter of beer and settling down to write in our journals. The beer happened, the journaling did not.

On the way to the outside bathroom ...

napokon nesto lijepo :)

evo me u san pedru de atacama (jos uvijek cile) - kod najsuse pustinje na svijetu (navodno), na ne znam koliko tisuca nadmorske visine (dovoljno visoko da te prvi dan boli glava, a mislim da se radi o 2500m, provjerit cu).
uploadat cu par slika, a u sobi napisem nesto malo o ovome mjestu jer sam sad u internet cafeu pa nemam vremena.
uglavnom, FENOMENALNO JE!! :) danas smo isli na sandboarding i iako sam se us*ala na pocetku, kasnije mi je bilo super

Two days in Chile!

San pedro De Atacama, Chile. Right to be honest everyone there is not much to say about San ped except it was hot during the day, freezing at night and bloody expensive!

THE END!

The only reason we really went there was to get our passports stamped and we got the free transfer from the salt flats. It was nice enough I suppose, just too expensive for us. 5 Pound for a bloody vodka and coke, it was like being in ****** London on a night out!

Crossing the desert

... for the police stationed there, it looked like a really boring and cold place to work. A few hours, and the bus pulled into the dusty town of San Pedro, located in the middle of some of the most barren and inhospitable terrain I have ever seen (well it is a desert after all!) . The Chileans are very serious about not bringing fruit and vegetables into the country, and there was search underway in the customs shed. When the officer came to Daniellas bag ...
