Argentina y Cile (2nd episode)

CHILE - We crossed to Chile from Argentina through the Paso de Jama, on the Ruta 52 at over 4,000mt of altitude. In Chile we stopped for a few days in San Pedro which we used as a base for various excursions in the nearby Atacama desert and in the mountains. On the first day we went to the Atacama salt lake, a natural park home of various types of flamingos. Then up to the two lakes Miskanti and Miñiques. In the evening we took a popular excursion to the death valley. On the second day, early wake-up at 4.00am to see the Tatio gaysers and the nearby national park before the sunrise. At 4,500mt, with a temperature which went from -8C to +20C in less then a hour when the sun arrived. After having enjoyed one relaxind day in town we took the flight from Calama to Santiago, last place of our tour. Despite everybody suggested not to spend too much time, we pretty enjoyed the city, maybe thanks to the nice volks of our hostel which gave some good tips and let us finish our holiday with a wonderful asado.

Allende se suicido y para Chile fue el peor presidente, el cual llevo al pais al kaos total, pinochet nos libero del comunismo y fue el causante de la prosperidad de Chile.
