Approach to the desert

Since yesterday afternoon we have been in the Atacama Desert. There is really nothing here except red sand, rocks, and in the middle a party village for young people, San Pedro de Atacama. We are significantly increasing the average age here. Today we plan the first excursion, let's see how hot it gets. We will report. First civic duty: pack enough water in the car.

In photo 8 you can see the salt mining fields in the very back, unfortunately I couldn't photograph them any larger.
