The Atacama desert is dry, dusty, sunny, warm, freezing. San Pedro de Atacama is a small village at the foot of the Andes lying at 2300m. Take a ride and after 60 minutes you can be enjoying the views of the Andes at 4600m overlooking the Salar de Atacama. The colors are magnificient, the skies, dressed in a dark blue, are sublime. It might just be a bit chilly and windy.
Easter island, lost in the Pacific, is home to some strange sculptures: the Moais, 12m high and weighing up to 82t. Enjoy.
