San Pedro de Atacama and Huayna Potosi

---

After crossing the boarder in to Chile for the 7th time, I went to San Pero de Atacama. In the middle of the dessert, with amazing landscapes.
The town was too touristy, but we got a bike to make our ways to the beatiful surroundings.
First to see the sunset at the valley of the moon, with it huge sanddunes and weird rocks with salt on them (looks like the moon)
Second day did a bit of sandboarding...cool but exhousting.

For a couple days I'm back in Bolivia. And it was time to challenge myself another time, so I decided to climb the Huayna Potosi, a mountain near to La Paz and 6088 meters tall.
Luckily not 11 days to get up, like the aconcagua, but just in to days I made it to the summit. A bit too fast, got realy bad altitude sickness but I made it!!
A bit of mountainbiking and the amazon is next
