3 Days in the Atacama Desert, Chile (the driest place on earth)

[@AdventureswithPinny]

What was your favorite part of our trip to the Atacama: quad tour, flamingos, geysers, or sandboarding (aka Linny eating dirt 😂)?

Hi. May I know the place where you saw the llamas? We are visiting atacama nxt month..

[@AdventureswithPinny]

Hi, thanks for watching! We saw the llamas at our hotel, Ckoi Atacama Lodge. It's linked in the description if you're interested. I hope you have a wonderful trip!

Weird question but did you feel like chocking while there? When I think dry I think very low humidity but is it just very little precipitation? lol I'm sensitive to the former

[@AdventureswithPinny]

Not weird at all, I know what you mean! It was crazy dry like the moisture is being sucked from your skin lol. Our skin felt tight, we were very thirsty, and woke up with super dry mouths every day. I'd definitely recommend bringing plenty of lotion, chapstick, and drinking tons of water each day. I hope this helps answer your question!

How did the locals get their water from?

[@AdventureswithPinny]

Great question! I was curious too so I looked into this and their main source of water comes from fog. Apparently, there are large fog banks that come from the Pacific Ocean and they use mesh screens to collect this fog and filter it for use. Very interesting.

Which month was this? So cold 😮

[@AdventureswithPinny]

We were there during early July, the beginning of winter! It was pretty chilly - especially up at the El Tatio geyserfield. 😬

[@nasdanrose4802]

@@AdventureswithPinny good to know. Planning to visit in April and hoping is not that freezing cold 🥶

[@AdventureswithPinny]

@@nasdanrose4802 Oh nice, I bet April will be perfect! Warmer weather than July but still less crowds than high season. Safe travels, enjoy!

[@princesadelaos]

@@nasdanrose4802 the desert is always cold at night so bring warm clothes and also swuimsuit cause the water of the hot springs is great

[@nasdanrose4802]

@@princesadelaos thanks. I will keep it in mind

[@princesadelaos]

the lady that boiled alive was taking a picture near one of the geysers and got startled when another one exploded so she fell backwards into it

[@AdventureswithPinny]

Oh wow, I had no idea. That is so terribly sad and scary. May she rest in peace.

And this piece of gravel is sacred, and that piece of dirt is sacred, and this rock is where my grandparents took a shit, and that rock over there is...
