Northern Chile
13th June 2010
We returned to Chile to meet up with Katie and Chantelle. From Arica on Chile´s dry north coast, we made our way south to Iquigue through a surreal landscape of massive sand dunes.
.
San Pedro de Atacama, established in 1540, is a little oasis in the Atacama Desert, the driest in the world.
.
17 hours away by bus is La Serena, and another 7 got us to Santiago. The Spanish arrived in La Serena in 1544.
