Valle del Elqui

a small town on the way to Valle del Elqui

Pisco Elqui, beautiful town in the valley

a giant sleeping on a small bench in a small Chilean town

resting of our long walk to somewhere where we could put a tent

we would have loved to do the same!

seems my hair got stuck on the electric cables

Pueblito Artesanal Horcón

first we were invited to stay with one of the sellers, then we were allowed to use the public kitchen

she loved our company

resting

the most wonderful family in Horcon, who hosted and fed us for two days

washing dishes in this house is best done around early afternoon, when water in the pipes gets naturally warm

it is a house built eco-friendly, i.e. bottles instead of windows

door made of carton instead of wood

most of the house is made of recycled material

walking to the family

one of the bee boxes to produce natural honey was broken

it looks like a fetus

meditating while seeing the world upside-down; in the triangle is the magic

a spiritual place

on the way back, this time along the mountains, not the road

Horcón by night

music filling the cold air

our host selling natural products

a photo session for the kids

playing with second hand toys

all of us in the garden
