| Atacama
says it all, dry hot and your basic desert. It is at 2,440 meters and has
only 900 inhabitants but surprisingly has good accommodations and even
taxis for hire. However, near here are some incredible and mysterious
monoliths and petroliths and a bunch of other liths, "Chariot of the
Gods" type stuff.
Also not to be missed is the Archeological Museum founded by a priest, Father Gustavo Le Paige. The story of how he built it single handed is impressive enough until you actually visit it and see the wonders there, from mummies to pre Inca artifacts it is a real lesson of the distant past of the area. |
