High And Dry in Attacama Desert

Rivaling our mouths for the driest place on earth is the Attacama desert in Northern Chile. It is also the highest desert in the world.
After beating our personal best by spending 24 hours on a bus to get here, we arrived slap bang in the middle of the Attacama desert in a tiny Llama village called San Pedro which sits at 2500 meters above sea level. 338 days a year are clear skies. Its wicked, full of dust, the houses are made of mud, and there is barely any water. There are random dust tornadoes down the street, and stray dogs bask in the shade all day long. It has a wicked atmosphere, some great bars, and resturants, and of course some of the most stunning backdrops in the world. You could spend weeks here doing all the things the locals have invented for you to pass the time, we chose the Valley of the Moon, and the El Tatio volcano geysers.
P.S As you can imagine uploading photos here is impossible, so I´ll have to add them later, for the mean time imagine what the moon with lamas running over it.
