Atacama Desert, Chile

Atacama, what can I say? This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. It is a dry desert landscape but is so full of colour! Red, pink, yellow, orange landscapes with a dusting of salt. There are hot springs, geyser fields and the most crystal clear blue skies. The night is dark and cold, the days are bright and the sun oh so hot. This tiny town in the middle of a salt flat is buzzing with life and is surrounded by scenery from another planet. I won't forget this place in a hurry.
