We started from La Serena at noon and got to San Pedro same afternoon. This is already a part of Atacama desert and this town was built up based on an oasis. It is a really small and cute little town, quite touristy in the look and the uniformity of all the buildings and the houses and the stores is quite noticable. We had a few options to explore this place and the surroundings, one of the most interesting things we did was the early morning Gycers and hotsprings at 5000+m above sea level. We had to leave at 4 am in the morning and it was freezing cold up there. The sunrise was nice and so was the experience of the live gycers, it was quite similar ro the old faithful gycer in the yellow stone national park but there were many of them and it was quite astonishing to see them so closely. I almost fainted once due to the sudden altitude difference and also the strong smell of the sulpher and other chemicals from those gycers.
The other wonderful experience was the Moon valley and the death valley and the sunset at the moon valley and the dunes. It was such a beauty, I cannot describe it here but will add pictures later. Hoenest, it was my first time seeing an actual dune and also sunset in the dune and the Moon valley. Simply gorgeous!
Nevertheless, the food was quite good in this littele town and I spent a lot in shopping and laundry without any prior budget! I bought a chess game with board for a good friend of mine from this place, just do not know how to send it to him as he is in Bangladesh now!
