We caught a morning flight from Santiago to Calama. Ironically we had dunkin donut and coffee for breakfast at the airport. The Santiago airport has shuttles you catch from the gate to the the airplane which is parked out on the Tarmac. The flight was also uneventful. The Calama airport was pretty small. We caught a shuttle bus to San Pedro. The drive was sort of like Utah through several canyons and the valley of the moon. We also saw areas that looked like they were covered with snow but were actually covered with salt.
In San Pedro we stayed at the casa de don Tomas which was a hotel. Despite the very hot weather there was no a/c. Mike and I explored town a bit and had a pizza and lomo al pobre,which was steak on fries with a fried egg on top.
The town was pretty touristy. They offered lots of tours including sand boarding, biking, hiking, star gazing...
