| Friday, April 1 This was at Valle de la Muerte (Death Valley). According to our tour guide, it was supposed to be called Valle de la Marte (Mars Valley) because of its resemblance to the surface of Mars, but the words are so similar that people misunderstood the actual name. |
 |
| Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley) because of its resemblance to the surface of the moon. |

| Sunday, April 3 Geysers del Tatio We left at 4 a.m. for this tour and it was slightly cold out... even when wearing two pairs of pants, two jackets, mittens, wool socks, and a headband. |
 |
| Breakfast on the tour. Our eggs were boiled in one of the geysers. |
 |
| Some people went swimming, but I opted not to because I would not have made it back out of the water. |
 |
| Instead of swimming, I power-walked and took pictures in an attempt to get warm. |
 |
| Vicuñas |
 |
| Still freezing! |
