We end our journey around the Valley of the
Moon, with its strange rocky formation zones, sand
dunes and salty parts and we enjoy of the incredible
sunset, watching the Valley of Death and its eroded
mountains, when the sunpainted the clouds of pink,
purple and blue.
Atacama is an extremaly unusual place, where
the cold of the night freezes the bones, that want
to run the roads when the sun warms up the atmo-
sphere, lighting the transparent sky.
Our tour ends here and the plane of Lan airlines
transported us to Río de la Plata to continue our
route…We had known themost intriguing deserts of
South America, at the foot of the Andes, observed by
the Aconcagua, and embellished by the vineyards or
salty lagoons, carved by the millenary erosion that
is home to the most ancient dinosaurs.
It was a fabulous experience, outstanding,
very different to what we had known of Argentina
and Chile, with the glaciers and green bushy val-
leys. It´
s another view of a continent that never
stops surprising us.
