I flew to Antofagasta last night, then 3hr bus (2 mil pesos) to the seedy crossroads town of Calama for the night. Then to San Pedro de Atacama in the desert. Maybe higher up in elevation
to altiplano or a volcano on the Bolivia border. 4-5 days I figure before working back to Santiago via Bus.

Here are the mountains seen on one the rare sunny days from Santiago. Still smog haze blocks the view.
