Nominee for Most Stunning Ride from the Airport: Calama to San Pedro de Atacama

A slow ballet of wind mills. Or our welcome greeting to aliens?

The ghostly Andes in the distance before us.

And the wide open sky over the Cordillera de Domeyko.

Between the two, the impressive Salar de Atacama, the largest salt flat in Chile.

… through the Valley of the Dinosaurs…

To the view of the Licancabur Volcano right outside my door at Atacama Loft, San Pedro de Atacama.
