The Journey: Vallenar – Chanarcillo – Copiapo – Copiapo Valley (Iglesia Colorada) – Bahia Inglesa – Caldera – Copiapo – Inca de Oro – Diego de Almago – Chanaral – Diego de Almago – Portal del Inca – El Salvador – Diego del Almago – Altamira
Vallenar. Perfectly ok, a little away from the big road, so that the traffic noise did not bother
III Región de Atacama
Map from Wikipedia. Properly written, the majority of the region is desert or desert.
Stone desert, between the stones a few cacti
'
Remote roads
Chanarcillo silver mine
Time had taken its toll, however, some of the walls were still standing.
Farther is one of a walled plot. Graveyard.
Another abandoned camping
Copiapo Valley – The valley with vineyards.
Aqueduct was built in 1890 and was in use until the year 1928. The only one of its kind in Chile.
Another sidetrack
Bahia Inglesa. And again, the ocean.
In the morning, it seems that one of the first tire loses air. Which means a visit to the roadside tire repair.I also own a tire repair kit available, but at roadside workshops thing still goes faster, they're working on it every day.
Indirectly, it can be said that a zebra, because here road crosses the historical path of the Incas.
I wanted to visit the mining town of El Salvador, which is a very interesting plan.
A picture of El Salvador- resembling an ancient Roman warrior`s helmet - from Wikipedia. Link
