San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

hi all,

arrived to the driest desert in the world, Atacama !! In the middle of the desert there is this little village called San Pedro. It's full of tourists, but they don't seem to mind. WEnt for a tour to 'el salar' (salt mines and salt caves, the third biggest in the world) and then went to 'el valle de la luna' for sunset. Pretty cool !!! As we need to get going we took an overnight bus to Arica, to the very north of Chile on our way to Peru !! As soon as we got there we realised we would give it a miss so we took a back to back bus to Arequipa !!

hola a todos,

hace unos dias estuvimos en el desierto mas desierto del mundo, Atacama !! En el medio del desierto hay una pequeño pueblo lleno de turistas que se llama San Pedro. Alli fuimos a un tour del 'el salar' (minas de sal y cavernas de sal. Es de hecho el tercer salar mas grande del mundo) y luego vimos el atardecer en el 'valle de la luna'. Alucinante !! Como no teniamos mucho tiempo cogimos un autobus nocturno hacia Arica, en el norte de Chile, de camino a Peru !! Y tan pronto como llegamos alli era tan feo que decidimos coger otro autobus a saco y fuimos a Arequipa !!
