San Pedro de Atacama

After driving through the snow we made it to San Pedro de Atacama. It was in the middle of the desert.

It was an oasis that exists due to the river flowing through the area.

To the right of the big volcano is where we crossed from Bolivia.

When you walk past town it is just sand as far as you can see. There are lots of shops set up for sandboarding. However here instead of a dune buggy taking you back up the hill you walk up and down.

We were tired of the desert and decided to walk back to town.

It was nice to be in the heat again after the last few days.

Kerri even did a bit of running and spinning in the desert. After getting up at 4am we may have been going slightly mad.
