Our flight left in the evening and we needed something to do so we booked a day tour to look at some rocks.We were told we would be the only ones on the tour and we were surprised when 9 college aged Chilean girls got on the bus with us. Turned out to be a whole lot of fun even if the sand storm was still raging. We drove an hour or so into the desert to see an amazing collection of petroglyphs. We scrambled over rocks (again more climbing) taking picture after picture. We then drove to a caldera (the collapse of land after the eruption of a volcano) called Rainbow Valley. Our pictures don't do it justice. The red green, blue, mauve and yellow colours were absolutely amazing and the terrain sectacular. We then drove to the secluded village of Rio Grande. 92 members of the same family live in this picturesque spot. We had lunch there. We were supposed to have it outside, but with the sand storm the plan was changed and we moved into a families home to have our queso sandwiches and tea.So now we have been on top of a volcano in the middle of a valcano and on the side of a volcano. Time to move on to our next adventure called Peru.
