Imagine being the first settlers in this world, a territory cherished for its astonishing landscape. At around 2,000 meters or 7,000 feet above sea level, this region is one of the driest on the planet. The surface rock formation resembles that of the moon, and thus referred to as "Valley of the Moon". This is San Pedro de Atacama, Chile.
These sand dunes are a popular destination for sandboarding.
Rich texture and colors makes this a photogenic landscape.
In Chile, steep mountain slopes and rigid land forms are plentiful. One evening gaze into the sunset at San Pedro de Atacama, Chile is worth a 100 hundred years. For my first visit to Chile, I was forever impressed.
