Atacama

I had grand plans to spend part of today’s lazy afternoon writing a great blog post, talking about all the tours I went on from San Pedro de Atacama with stunning pictures and everything. Unfortunately lazy was really the defining attribute of the afternoon and now I’m sitting here at midnight thirty with my computer packed up, ready to pass out. Tomorrow I’m getting up early to start a 3 day tour up to Uyuni, in Bolivia, home to the biggest salt flat in the world. We’ll be stopping at a ton of places along the way and capping the trip by going to the salt flat, so I’m excited.

Here in San Pedro I went on a few different tours – moon Valley, lakes that are on this high plateau, geysers, and a very cool astronomical one. I’ll write up a full rundown with pictures (internet permitting) on the 17th when I get to Uyuni.

I’ve also been working on nailing down a volunteer program and it looks like I’ll be teaching English in Huancayo, Peru, for the month of May. I still need to confirm everything but as of now that’s the plan, which I’m excited about. The idea is to spend the two weeks after Uyuni on a lightning tour of La Paz, Lake Titicaca, Machu Picchu, Lima, and Cusco – we’ll see if I can work that all out. I’ll keep y’all posted!
