The pueblo of San Pedro de Atacama is about 60 miles southeast of Calama and is quite the tourist attraction. People from all over the world fly into Calama and immediately leave for San Pedro to visit the many destinations (many of which have appeared in my previous blogs) easily accessible from this small town with a population of around 2,000. Because of the world-wide tourist destination reputation, several spa-type resorts have been constructed in and around this small, and what appears to be primative, community.
On April 17th, Larry and I decided to check out one of these resorts, the Kunza, to celebrate 28 years of wedded bliss!
This was the entrance-- hmmmm?
And this was the door to our room - quite unique!
Not a bad location to enjoy a glass of champagne and the opportunity to escape Calamaland!
And we were able to enjoy a famous Valle de la Luna sunset.
I never tire of snapping a photo of Licancabur, the dormant volcano outside of San Pedro.
This is the street where there are many tourist shops and restaurants but quiet at this time -- always a lot of dogs here although they all seem friendly enough. I love the cart the fellow was pushing with the dog catching a ride.
I almost never pass up an opportunity to take a photo of La Iglesia de San Pedro de Atacama either. Photos of this church have shown up in previous blogs but as a reminder, it was constructed was around 1641 and was reconstructed in 1978.
This is one of the church's three doors.
I wonder where we'll be celebrating our 29th anniversary?
