A Mt. Biking trip through a magical region.
Mt. Bike
September 15 - 22, 2006
Atacama is a spectacular, magical region. In this land of contrasts the the world’s driest desert meets the Andes mountains, where we find hidden lakes and ravines teeming with life.
Towering volcanoes testify to nature’s power, while a rich archeological heritage bears witness to important indigenous cultures from the past.
Picturesque towns such as San Pedro, Caspana, Ayquina and Chiu-Chiu combine native and Spanish cultures, captivating the visitor with their simple, earthy grace.
Here nature reveals herself in a thousand different forms. Examples are the landscapes of the Valley of the Moon and the Valley of Death, which seem to belong to another planet, the great Atacama salt flat and its numerous flamingo filled lakes, and the mighty vapor eruptions of the Tatio Geysers springing from the depths of the earth.
Exploring this magical region on a bicycle is the best way to experience its unique beauty.
