Story:
While planning the trip to San Pedro de Atacama, a friend told me that I should rent a 4x4 vehicle, however they were all unavailable.
He also recommended to look for a high location to watch the sunset.
Using Google Earth and Apple Maps, found that the best location was Mirador de Kari - Piedra del Coyote. This vantage point overlooked the Valley of the Moon; however, it was closed due to Covid-19.
On our way to our hotel, I saw an alternative location, that could work, discovering it was called Mirador Likan-Antay. We drove near sunset time, but when we arrived, many people had thought the same as me.
Started looking for different points of view, you could see a section of the Valley of the Moon. But they we were on the wrong side as the images would come out back lighted.
All in all, I was able to register the desert and clouds at San Pedro de Atacama.
