During my long vacation I went to see my dad went to Calama and San Pedro de Atacama in the north in the region of Antofagasta Peter obviously is a small town founded by the indigenous people the Atacama. This town has many tourist attractions as the Valley of the Moon, Death Valley, 90 km of Saint Peter the Tatio geysers, the lagoon relent and direct passage to Bolivia and Argentina. On this trip I met the driest desert in the world and learned fascinating things eg. Where they come from and how you create the geysers.

 Valle de la Luna or The Valley of the Moon: One of the most important sites for its amount of salt that contains because many years ago the water was 7 meters above the ground, to evaporate the water on earth is salt stay quit. You are given this name because of its resemblance to the moon (curious fact: in this place was filmed 5 minutes of the movie star wars) in this valley are two salt mines, which are no longer used (I enter to one and I realized that there are corals, rocks, and walls of salt).

 Valle de la muerte or the valley of death: this is called so not because they do not and you die. is because many years ago the Spanish to come to Chile to intimidate the Atacama kill their leaders and hung on the highest mountain so that people see them and feared pregnant women and babies tore them , raped them and then and killed leaped opposed to a ravine and died but this valley has another name originally red in French valley since Gustavo Lepaige but in French the word sounded red remained as death then death valley this well put by the color of the sand and the mountains and basins of the same valley . Currently in the dunes Valley sand is used to make board (I was cycling and I pull the dunes).

 Geysers del tatio or  The Tatio geysers : This attraction is located in the basin of the same name Geometric 129 kilometers east of the city of Calama and 90 km north of San Pedro de Atacama , about 4320 meters above the sea. The fumaroles emerge to the surface through fissures in the earth's crust, reaching a temperature of 85 ° C and about 10 meters high. This impressive show can be seen at its best early in the morning between 6:00 and 7:00 am, with temperatures below zero. The Tatio geysers are one of the most striking features of the region and are caused by contact with frozen river underground hot rocks. Visitors can also appreciate this natural wonder of nature, a beautiful landscape with varied flora and fauna among which species of Andean came lids such as vicuna and guanacos and rheas birds and rodents as vizcacha.

 Laguna cejar or the launa relent: (I cannot go to the lake but find loopholes so things) relent lagoon is a lagoon in the middle of the salt desert. Crystal is a fresh water lagoon and is a heavily visited tourist site.

During my trip I traveled a lot and I will learn Calama is a town founded, dry and burned but it stands for the change in the copper mines of Chuquicamata and Calama is also north of the Tropic of Capricorn. This place is not very tourist center but close to one of mine is a viewpoint where you can see how they work.
