The tour continues...



Here are Phillip and Jonas in the Valley of Rocks. The vally is full of these giant rock formations formed by volcanic eruptions.










Salvador Dalirocks Desert. Salvador Dali painted this desert without ever having been there.
















Here are Amélie and I with la Laguna Verde behind. All the lakes in the region have crazy bright colours - brown, blue, white, green.


Sol De Mañana Geysers. There are a countless number of geysers here in the ground emitting an intense amount of Sulphur and other gases with a eerily loud hissing noises. Each hole is fully of bubbling hot grey liquid. Each one is like a mini volcano. We were warned not to get too close.

Throughout the tour we were all slowly getting acustomed to the hight altitude of around 4600 m. We were all extra short of breath and had minor head aches most of the time. Our guide introduced us to Coca leaves which miraculously got rid of our head aches.

**I LOVE all the comments that you´ve left me! Keep them coming!**

Hey Eleanor

Your pictures (and the descriptions that accompany them) continue to blow my mind! It's going to be a while before I can take another big trip, but I'm beginning to think that South America is the place to go...
Not much happening in Toronto right now. I got into a grad program at U of T, and will be going to Cuba for a week with Meredith, which'll be a lot of relaxin' fun.
Do you like Manu Chao? He's playing in Toronto this summer. You should get a ticket if you'll be back in time!
