Story:
Most images I take are devoted to Water in all its forms, so omitted visiting the dessertic part of Chile.
My wife wanted to visit this zone, so for her birthday we organized a trip to a wonderful resort.
After arriving to Calama city, started our journey on the rented car, crossing the windmill and photovoltaic farms. Most of the road was a straight line towards the “Llano de la paciencia” (Plain of patience).
The following day we took the road towards the volcano. The road started at 2470 meters arriving close to the volcano at an altitude of 4730 meters. The air was very cold, and you could see distant mountains with no haze. Clouds were crisp, colors saturated, and pointed my camera towards Bolivia where the Laguna Verde and Laguna Blanca are located.
Images came faithfully to what I saw. I was really impressed with the unexpected scenery I found at San Pedro de Atacama.
