Chillin in Chile

Chile. Wow. It was quite evident that we had made it to this South American skiing snowboarding mecca. Even the desert folk had their boards out anxiously awaiting the nearing ski season.


This was in the Valle de la Luna near San Pedro de Atacama in northern Chile. The thing to do here is go on a walk through the valley and check out the caves. I am really not too sure about this. As we walked through here all the sedimentary rock was creaking and crumbling.... We got outta there fast.

But the formations from the erosion were pretty cool.





Enjoying the sunset...... Again.


I think a giant was buried by a really, really big landslide here.


Wine country!!!!


This is what Bolivian roads do to your suspension system.......Thank goodness for finding probably the only guy in all of Chile with a few old Vanagons in reasonable condition to pick parts from!!!


Santiago, Chile. 


A reminder of home..... They had us fooled for a minute.


Kumu is now rip roarin to go and we are stoked for the trip south into Patagonia!

  1. you guys drive through countries faster than we drive through cities! ;)

    Sorry we missed you - we ended up on the Road of Death and then the Bolivian jungle.

    Maybe we can still catch up at some point? Also, let us know your bus junkyard parts guy - we may need to pull some parts after the Salt Flats!
