The Atacama



We're in San Pedro de Atacama, in the North of Chile. The town is at 2700m (7900ft) in the middle of the Atacama desert. The air here is dry, and at night it gets really cold.

There is beautiful desert scenery surrounding San Pedro. We've been out to visit the Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley) at sunset and the Valle de la Muerte (Death Valley) - which is really the old road linking San Pedro to the nearest town. A wiggley road meandering between desert rock formations.
