3. Around Atacama
I am heading east from SPA on incredible hwy #27. You get to drive from 2,400m altitude to 4,800 in less then 20’ … Very dangerous. BUT, the landscape is impossible to describe in words. There is a place for Kodak Moment every few meters. The road is perfect and the traffic almost non existent. This is THE BEST road I have ever ridden.
looking west down at SPA form hwy #27
lots of those around, they are protected by law
turnoff to Bolivia
Bolivia border crossing at 4,600m
vicuñas are very cute
darn, I wanted to get higher, this is "only" 4,800m
there are lots of telescopes around here
this is pretty high
that's Bolivia on the horizon
the tracks look much better in the picture then reality. It was rough
lake behind the border
stunning landscape everywhere you look
