SECOND DAY IN THE DRIEST DESERT

After visiting Chuquicamata mine, and on the way back to San Pedro, we got sleep. So here are some pictures of that momment.

Walking around San Pedro we found some fresh water and fight agaist million mosquitoes. In front of the gate of the "feria de artesanía" we called home! Children from the town along with us while selling their goods.

Iglesia de San Pedro de Atacama.  Then a sight of the streets and feris de artesanía where you can find handcraft and weaves.

Our camping is very arid and images are wordless. It is managed by CONAF, They take care of natural preservation.

Houses are built of "adobe", bricks made of water and earth. A wonderful view of volcano Licancabur taken from the camping. And the sky when the sun settles.
