Sad, I was there on top of that rock a few years ago. San Pedro de Atacama is a fantastic town, a little like the wild west, with dirt streets, no water (all water is trucked in) and dodgy looking people. I had more fun there than can be explained. To have Hollywood types jetting down there to stay in a spa just sucks in my opinion. The geysers were amazing, typical that man would destroy them to make more money mining. Oh well. Michael Farmer
