We visited an aloe vera farm in Fuerteventura.

Geysers del Tatio in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

Our third day in San Pedro was the best of all! We visited the Geysers del Tatio, an extremely active area of geysers high up in the mountains.

Salt Flats in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

Our second day in San Pedro we took a tour to the salt flats. We swam in the Ojos del Salar and watched the sunset at Salares themselves.

Valle de la Muerte y Luna in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

Our first adventure in San Pedro was visiting Valle de la Muerte and Valle de la Luna. I was struck by the utter lack of vegetation and felt so insignificant compared to nature.

Downtown in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

The town of San Pedro is quite small, but full of interesting sights. I expected it to be less modern given how remote it is, but the bustling tourism supports their economy very well.

Bus to San Pedro in Salta, Argentina

The bus ride from Mendoza to San Pedro is long but the scenery is absolutely stunning. We stopped overnight in Salta, Argentina. Otherwise we just enjoyed the earth rolling by, slowly turning from lush green into arid desert as we approached San Pedro.
