DAY 44


Today we got hit with 2 hours of time changes, we thought we were leaving at around 8:00 AM and it was 10:00 AM due to location and lack of daylight savings. The first thing we did was seek out the "Hand":


The work of Chilean sculptor Mario Irarrázabal, the massive sculpture rises 36 feet in the air atop a base made of iron and cement. The piece was constructed at an elevation of 3608 feet above sea level on the virtually rainless plateau of the Atacama Desert – the driest in the world. Yet despite its isolated and arid location, vehicles regularly pull up and people pile out to take in the desert artwork – a must stop for those travelling along the Panamerican Highway since its inauguration in 1992.






The rest of the day looked pretty much like this.


Good food buy way too much.



Tomorrow we keep heading South.
