The tour guide Nicholas spins a DJ set at breakfast as steam flies out of his neck. Just kidding, he’s cooking eggs. El Tatio geyser field, Andes Mountains, Chile.

San Pedro de Atacama, Chile
The Iglesia San Pedro in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile.
I spent all day in the Hostel Sonchek just resting from my long bus ride from Santiago yesterday and catching up on my Photoshopping and blogging duties. The wi-fi was really slow, so it took forever. I went on a stroll around San Pedro de Atacama during the golden hour to stretch my legs a bit and shoot a few photos. Every inch of every street in this tiny town is chock-full of tour operators, bicycles rental shops, souvenir shops, convenience shops, cafes, restaurants, etc. Really over-the-top touristy towns like this can be a turn off in a lot of ways.

San Pedro de Atacama, Chile
Sunrise in the Atacama Desert, Chile.
Sometime after midnight on the bus from Santiago to San Pedro de Atacama, I fell asleep and shockingly actually got a few hours of shut eye, waking up around 6:30 am. After a breakfast consisting of leftover bread with a carrot and a zucchini, I watched sunrise unfold upon the eerie landscape of the Atacama desert. It looked like the bus had taken a detour to Mars. Around 10:00 am, we pulled into Chile’s second largest city, Antofagasta, a really unattractive conglomerate of severe, blocky buildings. After a short break at the bus station, we proceeded up through some mountainous desert toward the copper mining town of Calama.
