Driest place on earth, charming little towns and a huge geyser. Enjoy the images of desert.
Leaving very early in the morning (around 3!), we had to put on all clothes we had with us, and even then it was cold. When we arrived up at the geyser, at nearly 4000 metres high, it was 15 degrees below zero. And a lot of water was frozen at that time. But it was fascinating to see the effect of the rising sun, quickly rising temperatures and melting ice. Another consequence was that the steam of the geyser was becoming less impressive, because the surrouding air temperature was not so low anymore. Which is why we had left at that ungodly hour in the first place. After the geyser, we went to a village festival, to a mine, and finally had dinner in Calama. From there, for me it was back to Santiago.
