San Pedro, Chile - April 2012

We arrived to San Pedro off the tour of the Salt Flats, with one other couple we'd met on the tour.
We walked into the town with our highly fashionable backpacks in tow, and hunted down a couple of hostels to settle into.
Now, the plan was to leave for Argentina the following day, however, due to a couple of set backs this was not possible. 1) The only open cash machine took mastercard, not visa! 2) there were no buses till Thursday (2 days time). However stressfull this felt at the time, it was meant to be, because we really fell for San Pedro.


On day 2 (after managing to get some cash) we went on a tour of the Valle de la Luna - Valley of the Moon. Named so, because the landscape was truely moon-like.
We explored caves, sand dunes, peaks with amazing landscape, and watched the sunset on a lovely Chilean day.



Our experience of Chile was proof that everything happens for a reason, even when you can't see it straight away.
