Copiapo - Green Lagoon 27.01.2023

Departure at 08:30. The journey is supposed to take 5 hours one way. Straight road at the beginning, no trees, no toilets, nothing but the desert, but still impressive. Then the road goes up to 4300 meters. It's still fine, we go down and cross the border. We go up again and at 4300 meters, Francoise feels a headache, dizziness, and becomes pale. We can't continue anymore. We go back quickly to a height below 4000 meters. No Green Lagoon this time, but what beautiful landscapes.

Departure at 08:30, one-way trip 5 hours. Straight road at the beginning, no trees, no toilets, no rest areas, but impressive landscapes. Then the road goes up to 4300 meters. This time no problem. Then it goes back down and after crossing the border towards the Green Lagoon - we are not far away anymore - it goes up again. At 4288 meters, Francoise feels sick, she has a headache and becomes very pale. Cancellation, quickly back down below 4000 meters. It slowly gets better again. No Green Lagoon this time, but what impressive landscapes.
