The road to San Pedro Atacama (Atacama) in Chile is quite a scenic trip, passing mountains of over 4000m, crossing two border controls (which are quite annoying by the way). The landscape is sometime barren as you would imagine on the moon.
A small salt lake on our way.
Some parts of the road were leading basically through dessert.
The closer we got to Chile the dryer the land around us. It seemed that the Argentinian side was much greener and the Chilean side was much more a dessert. Later we found out that it only rains about 15 mm per year here. I guess that explains why. Most of the water coming from the mountains actually travel subterranean.
