On the road

Although the primary aim of my trip was to spend my winter where it's their summer, I did visit a number of different cities and regions.

And I broke with my usual routine of taking public transport, to rent a car for a week.  I went from La Serena to Copiapo, and back to Vicuņa.

I used the car to explore a little more of the Elqui Valley, in which Vicuņa lies

 

 

 

North of La Serena a ways, along Route 5 (the Pan American highway)

 

 

 

Tempting

Land parcels bordering the Pacific Ocean, for a little over $5,000usd

 

 

 

I dearly love the landscape where the desert meets the ocean.  Unbeatable

 

 

 

 

Incahuasi, a sleepy desert town with no paved roads

 

 

Along Route 5

I love the subtle changes in coloring

 

 

 

 

A small oasis of green in an arid landscape

 

 

 

Interesting coloration of variously exposed strata
