SAN PEDRO ATACAMA
CHILE
OASIS OF THE ANCESTORS
Date to be confirmed
OASIS OF THE ANCESTORS
NOVEMBER 15 TO 24, 2011
Join Luzclara on a journey through one of the most powerful places in Chile, San Pedro de Atacama (place where the people meet). This is an oasis in the middle of the Atacama desert where whole cities lay underground with monies, ceramics, jewelry, and utensils intact due to the dryness of the desert.
The original inhabitants, the "Transhumantes" date from 11,000 years BC - one of the oldest known civilizations on the Earth. Centuries later, the caravans from Tiwanaku, the invasion of the Incas and the coming of the Spaniards formed a mixture of races that gave birth to what the "atacameños" are today. Many archaeological sites and a museum founded by the Jesuit priest Gustavo Le Paige are examples of this ancient culture.

"Your photos are always so gorgeous and cosy. It really seems you had a lot of fun! You all seem so happy.
I do hope you will blog once or twice a month, I love reading your traveling stories. As I don't have the money or resources to travel like you do, I read about it instead ;) "
