Atacama desert, Chile

Photo: The large plains of the Salitrosa sector - Qda. Guamanga between Manto Verde and Inca de Oro.
(Kodak15015; W. Griem 2007):
The sector between Copiapó - Inca de Oro and Diego de Almagro stands out for its one hundred percent desert character. Flats, dunes, ravines and hills create a whole that is completely associated with a desert. There are no populations - only mining camps. On the roads the chusca (fine dust) is a faithful companion. The road Carrera Pinto to Flamenco is a good and historical road, but nowadays not the most used one - as Carrera Pinto is already depopulated and Flamenco a tourist beach with almost no economic activity.

Description:
Location: Guamanga and Salitrosa south of Diego de Almagro.
Next town: Diego de Almagro (65 km) and Inca de Oro (62 km)
Petrol: Diego de Almagro (65 km)
Road condition: Gravelled and salted, partly somewhat bumpy. Quite lonely and a little bit confusing, one should be careful not to get lost. With SUV, jeep, or pickup
Worth seeing: landscape, desert, historic mining.
