Photo of the Day: Valle de la Muerte in the Atacama Desert

By Jason Castellani on July 29, 2010 ]

Valle de la Muerte, also known as Death Valley, is easily accessed from the desert of San Pedro de Atacama in Chile. The large sand dunes are ideal for sand boarding, hiking and experiencing sand blasts in the strong desert winds. Be sure to protect your cameras, or you will end up with sand in your lenses like we did.
