Hi again guys! In this post I will write about a place where I had a really nice stay in spite of the conditions: we had not bathrooms neither water or light but it was amazing! The magical place that I visited was San Pedro de Atacama, at the north of our country.

Well, I visited San Pedro in 2010 at the end of October, because there was the Anthropology´s congress and my classmates and I decided to go. My friend and I sold some things to get the money to the ticket´s buss. Others classmates traveled hitchhking trucks. They were so brave!  The trip was very long but was worth it. I really loved the town: it was so different to any other place that I had ever visited. It was like a place transported in time, all the constructions there are made from “adobe”, everything looks very old but picturesque, the streets are very narrow, this place is very quiet, and everyone is always relaxed.

San Pedro is located in the Atacama´s desert. It is in an oasis where the mountains are impressive. With its colors and geography San Pedro captivated me. Well, in my travel, I go to the congress three days with my classmates, where we learned a little about the work of some anthropologist, it was very interesting.

After that we bought a tour, and went to the Tatio ´s geysers, Machuca´s town, The Moon ´s valley, The Rainbow ´s valley, The Tulor´s village and some antiquities petroglyphs. All those places liked me, but my favorite was The Moon valley, because did make me feel quiet and relaxed. It is very beautiful. After that my classmates got back to Santiago, but my friends and I stayed. There we met the night life in San Pedro de Atacama; we went to a “Tambo”. I loved this place because had not many tourist.  Andean music was played and many girls danced very well. We try to dance like them but it was difficult. Any way we danced all the night, we met some people from San Pedro and the next day went to another clandestine party, it was next to our tent. D: Don’t worry nothing happened. The next day we went to an altiplanica ´s lake and to a salt-flat with strange persons that proved to be good. So I didn´t worry about it.  Well to sum up I had a great experience to camp in San Pedro with my classmates, because I could know a lot of in a few days J  well, I hope that you travel to San Pedro once because it is a wonderful place.

See you soon!
