A Martian landscape
Another campsite on some salt flats at about 4500m.
Unfortunately the sun was so bright these photos haven´t turned out so well. Small groups of vicuña would graze these high plains which seemed to be absolutely free of any vegetation whatsoever.
The strangely eroded rocks in the distance and the perfectly uniform fields of pummice took us all morning to cycle past. The scale of the landscape is very deceptive and almost impossible to judge even when cycling accross them.
The multicoloured pummice gave this particular group of volcanoes a wonderful marbled effect. Sarah hoped it was a giant marbled sponge cake as our food daydreams reached new proportions.
