Had a great 2 weeks in Valparaiso - lots of exploring! The meeting with the YMCA went really well and I'm going to be able to help them with marketing materials for their volunteer programs and launching their 1st international fundraising campaign to the US and Canada - absolutely perfect! My boss is taking the week off for vacation so I figured it would be a perfect time to head up the coast to the North part of this amazing country.
Decided to take an organized tour with Pachamama. It was a small bus with 8 really fun travelers. We saw so many things but the highlights were:
Boat tour with waddling penguins, sea lions and tons of dolphins
Flamingoes (really had no idea they lived in Chile??)
Salt Flats - white salt as far as you can see
Tropic of Capricorn
Amazing cabin on the beach with BBQ
Bike tour through tiny village
Seeing desert where it hasn't rained in 57+ years!
Cerro Tololo Observatory - amazing views of the stars and planets
Favorite towns: Bahia Iglesia, San Pedro de Atacama and Valle del Elqui
