Before I even start, I just want to say that none of my pictures do San Pedro de Atacama justice. Everything landscape was unreal. It felt like I was living in a painting. That being said, here are some of my photos and experiences, but you must go see it for yourself in person.

Chao, Santiago!

¡Hola, Atacama desert!

After arriving in the Calama airport, we took a bus to our hostel in San Pedro called Aji Verde. We explored the town, booked tours for the week, went grocery shopping, napped, and socialized with people at our hostel. We could definitely feel the altitude as we breathed heavily just walking around town.

The town of San Pedro

We met another group of gringo students studying in Viña who were also visiting San Pedro for the long weekend, so some of us went out to dinner together. Although I was a little skeptical about eating out after all that money I spend on tours, it was totally worth it:

My friend Andrea and I DESTROYED this thing. It was probably disgusting to watch, but I have no regrets.
