I took a day trip with a friend to see some geysers that are situated in the high plateau in the interior from Iquique. It was going to be about a 3 hour trip to get there so we were prepared and left early. Well it turned out that there were just so many places to stop along the way...small towns with lots of history, ancient glyphs on mountains, beautiful views, etc, that it ended up taking us about 6 hours to get there...and we never actually made it. Without realizing, we ended up on the border of Bolivia and Chile...we had travelled completely across Chile in only a couple hours. The scenery had changed completely from the coast and desert and it was even raining! We saw lots of llamas and alpacas when we got to the river, and I even saw a chinchilla! Next goal: travel from end to end North to South...

The...plaza?
An author in Chusmiza selling his books about his history and anecdotes
Llamas or alpacas? That is the question...
Rain!
