feeling dry?

This is honestly one of the most beatiful places that i've visited in the world (and i've visit many).

It's call "Cordillera de la Sal" or "Range of the Salt" located a few kilometeres to the west of San Pedro de Atacama. This is a panoramic picture that i took this summer, i went there with my girlfriend for 5 days, we stayed in a beatiful hostal in San Pedro's centre. I like this place because of all the beaty you can find. The dust, the rocks, the salty air, while you are looking at this place you can begin to understand the way the whole geography of our country took form millions years ago.
Acording to cientists life is imposible in a place like this, because of all the salt in the ground, but you can still see a whole valley full of green and life across this rough piece of land, deep inside the driest desert in the world.
The feeling that you experience by looking at this scene is similar to the one you feel in front of the ocean, you feel small, part of a greater picture that you can't even dream of.
I strongly recommend to everyone to visit the north of our country, it's true, it's not as GREEN as the south, but you will find the beautiness of another kind of nature, you can see the same geography icons without any trees or forest of any kind interfering with it, you will see the enormous amount of colors that dust and sand can create, showing to your eyes the most amaizing pictures you can imagine.
