Chile Chapter 2: Around San Pedro de Atacama and into Bolivia

For the second chapter of our Chile exploration we were based in San Pedro de Atacama. From here we took guided trips to the Valle de la Luna, the El Tatio geyser field, and a four-day trip into Bolivia. There we saw countless flamingo-filled lagunas in all colours, a fumarole-and-boiling-mud field, and of course the huge Salar (salt flats) de Uyuni. Just outside the village Uyuni, we visited the highly picturesque train cemetery. To conclude this part of our journey we climbed Chile's most active volcanoe: Volcán Lascar (5400m).
