A town in the earth driest desert. And guess what? It rained! Well, sort of. A few drops. But still. This is what they call "Bolivian Winter"; clouds and some rainfall. But other than this - yes, it is dry, you need to drink a lot during the day and the altitude (a respectable 2400m above sea level) lets you a little breathless at moments the first day or two.
Otherwise the town is just an other tourist rip-off with a relatively laid-back atmosphere. Nothing seems to move before 11am and shortly after that, the siesta closes almost everything down until about 5pm. So I did "the tour" into the nearby Valle de la Luna (see also the other
photos). Really spectacular!
