After getting up at 4.30am for our transfer to Santiago airport for our flight to Calama and no business lounge to speak of. Almost two hours later we land in Calama with sweeping views once more of the magnificent Andes and the parched treeless Atacama desert.It's here we are met by our driver for the 100km drive to San Pedro de Atacama. A tiny village in the middle of the desert overshadowed by a huge snow capped volcano. Here we shall spend 3 nights. We cannot check into our hotel until 3 so have to spend 3 hours wandering the Unpaved roads taking in the sights and sounds. It's a tourist hotspot for both Chileans and the likes of us. Quite hippy here but not in a Byron bay/Margaret river kinda way. The next 2 days we have plenty to look forward to.
the accomodation is just perfect, log and Adobe (mud brick) cabins and thatched ceilings
