Chile Red stones in the Atacama desert

It is a special place. In the middle of "nowhere", high in the Altiplano theres a lot of big, red stone formations.

wide-angel lens for landscape, zoom lens for detail photos of the red stones

Take the Ruta 27 east direction from San Pedro (Highway to Argentina). After 103 km look left to see the stone area. There's no touristic sign, that's why it's a little bit difficult to find the way into the area. One good option is to wait on the Highway until the touris tours come along. Follow them to entry the area.You can park inside everywhere. Caution, most of the ways inside are sand ways. Drive carefull or take a 4wheeldrive car.
