Going further south on the Panam

Many people lost their lives along the Panamericana

 Our next stretch on the Panam is from Arequipa to Arica, crossing the border into Chili. It takes a whole day. Our bus has to stay in Peru. We will cross the border on foot. On the other side we take taxis to the center of Arica.

Leaving Arequipa 

A glimpse of a fertile valley

Even a river

This mountain looks almost like silk

Moonlike landscapes

Going down to Tacna (Peru)

Of course we couldn't take pictures during the crossing of the border between Peru and Chile. Everything went fine at the border. We were happy to be in the taxi on our way to Arica. So nice to be at sealevel again. But it would be the last time during this trip....
