Last week I hiked through a valley where the surrounding mountains are green, blue and red due to eruptions of a near-by volcano, had lunch under a tree in a true desert oasis, saw flamingoes at sunset on a salt pond, rock formations that were 5 stories high, a field of over 100 geysers and a place that looks like the surface of the moon where crazy young men go "sand boarding".
The Atacama Desert is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. Photographic proof is below. By far, the best thing I saw was the full moon rising over the Andes as we sat by the roadside. No photo of that though. That moment was to be experienced, not recorded.
I've been back in Toronto only a day and I already miss that amazing country. Chile brought me back to life. And for that I will always be grateful.
