The desert of Atacama in northern Chili is a unique place on earth that requires a little bit of time to adjust to in order to see the magic in it. At first, before the eye or maybe the brain turns on its ability to discern such subtle colors, the rough and deserted landscape can appear flat, even repulsive. After what seemed to be a short adaptation time we stood in awe most of the week we spent there.
Even while in motion whether driving (lots of driving there) or paddling or walking I felt like I was mesmerized and not able to do much but stand there and look in disbelief. I had never seen anything quite like it and even though it sounds like a cliché it felt like we were somewhere in outer space, maybe on the moon or on planet Mars.
