San Pedro de Atacama in Pictures

We spent the day around San Pedro de Atacama today and I have to say that it is quite photogenic.  It is quite cold in the evenings, but the day was spectacular.   Before we head into the hills towards the Bolivian Salt Flats, I wanted to share a bit of this weird landscape.  It was like being on Mars (or the Moon, if you prefer). 

There were valleys covered with salt and clay:

Powdered Ginger Scones, anyone?

Such random rock formations in the middle of these huge fields of salt.

There were Massive Sand Dunes: 

And of course the Andes and their Volcanoes... 

Megan vs. the Volcano!
