San Pedro de Atacama

San Pedro de Atacama sits where the Earth feels unfinished, a high desert suspended between volcanoes and sky. Where the known world gives way to something otherworldly. Here, light and silence shape the land, valleys carve into crimson stone. By night, the desert opens to infinity. The Milky Way burning so bright it erases the line between earth and cosmos. To stand in San Pedro is to stand at the edge, of geography, of time, of understanding. The Atacama asks nothing of you but presence.
