Parque Nacional Pan de Azucar, Chile - Day 1

A night bus from Santiago to Copiapo brought us closer to Parque Nacional Pan de Azucar, an amazing natural park where, literally, the sea meets the desert.

We rented a car for a couple of days and started a fantastic (and short) road trip through the beggining of the Chilean desert. I was Brad Pitt in the middle of the crazy Thelma and Louise.

The landscape was gradually changing from the green Copiapo, to the ocean in Caldera and Bahia Inglesa and to the dry desert in Pan de Azucar. Something surreal that our eyes just couldn´t believe on what they were seeing.

Once in the bark, we found a really nice cabaña by the sea and spend a wonderful night there. This was only the first day in the park and we were already impressed by what we were seeing. But more was to come...
