WOW, what an amazing tour. The story starts in San Pedro De Attacama, Chile. This is a small town in the middle of the desert. Below are some pics of the scenery around the village.

The faces carved into the rock are pre-inca. Below you see San Pedro as the Oasis in the desert.

From San Pedro we started our 3 day tour into the altiplano of Bolivia. Our tour consisted of Jose our guide, James, Jessica, two Irish ladies, two Scotish lasses and a Jeep. On the tour we saw; numerous lagoons, the sprawling desert, flamingos, llamas and alpacas, volcanoes, smoking sulphur vents, Dali rocks (inspiration for Dalis artwork), thermal baths of 38 degrees, mahusive mountains....

Pictures tell it better...

...on our final day we got up early for sun rise over the Salt Flats

Some fun memories such as sleeping at nearlly 5000m above sea level and meeting this little monster in the salt flats....

We are now in Bolivia and its very different, you really notice the difference moving from the richest to poorest country in South America. Stay tuned for more.... (oooohhhh)
