Atacama Desert, Chile


Iglesia San Pedro on Plaza de Armas in San Pedro de Atacama.

The main street in San Pedro - just a dirt road - in a very quaint town.

Don Raul hotel where we stayed - great showers, breakfasts and WiFi.

Hiking the ridgeline in Moon Valley.

Standing at the bottom of an abandoned salt mine.

Laguna Piedra - salt content 7x the ocean makes for amazing flotation.

Sunset on the Atacama Desert - life is good in Chile.

Full moon over the Andes Mountains - behind Laguna Cejar.

Earth's moon photographed via telescope from Observatorio Comunal Cerro Mamalluca.
