Chile - Bolivia 2006

San Pedro de Atacama located in the middle of the desert is the starting point of many very interesting excursions. The village itself counts round 1,000 inhabitants and has a long, long story. It was first populated by the Indios, then conquered by the Inkas during the XVIth century before beeing conquered again, this time by the Spains. The signs of Pedro de Valdivia are to be seen also here. To resume: the story of San Pedro sounds familiar, its destiny isn´t different than hundreds of Chilean villages. Today it is a charmful minuscule town with different architecture styles, various art places with refined taste
