final set of pictures from the south west circuit which led me from San Pedro de Atacam in Northern Chile through to Uyuni and the salt flats there. The pictures show a variety of coloured lakes, spectacular desert dunes and mountain landscape where I came across some of the clearest and purest skies here on the continent along with my time in the amazon area between colombia and brasil.
