An aerial view of a vast, arid mountain range.
An aerial view of a vast, mountainous desert landscape.
An aerial view of a barren, mountainous landscape.
An aerial view of a large solar farm in a desert landscape.

The drive Calama to San Pedro de Atacama

A vast desert landscape under a blue sky with wispy clouds.
The clouds remind me of jellyfish.
A lone desert mountain under a bright blue sky.
