Introduction

The Puna de Atacama is located at the Chilean-Argentinian border, east of Copiapo (CHI) and west of Fiambala (ARG).
We spent an incredible week with no one around except for Vicunas and Flamingos.
I thought it would nice to highlight this hardly-known area with an album.

If you have a few colorful shots from this place, feel free to add them !

as they push this nice-photo-over-information hype on SP, but this one is really picturous and I like it. It does the colours in the Puna justice, which is hard to achieve. One of the few albums that justify the album function!

Exactly what I had in mind when I made the album.
Albums are good to highlight a region.

Thanks for your kind comment ;o)
