...A Taste of Dust...
...and Water...
In Chile I decided "to feel the desert" in travelling from Santiago to Antofagasta by bus through the Atacama desert.
I think it took 15 hours or more and most part of this trip I was travelling along Atacama desert. I had a feeling like in this video of Los Jaivas, the well-known Chilean band. Once again the kind of nice sweet-loniless-feeling. Like muisc in my ears. A
kind of feeling the Finn can have when walking in the waste Finnish
forests... You are welcome to "feel" the Finnish forests too.
In Argentina "I decided kind of ex-tempore to freshen up" underneath the Iguazu Falls, the Cataratas as they are called in Spanish. And I got wet during the boat trip. Visiting shortly the water world of the Falls...
Well, good that I had some dry clothes in my rucksack to change later. But to tell the truth, for me the best part of the Iquazu Falls was to look them from up to the bottom, and even from the aeroplane. This time time I visited only the Argentinian side of the Falls, next time I will visit the Brazilian side. By the way. Have you listened to "Árbol", the Argentinian rock band? Here for you. Their record "Hormigas " is a very good record indeed.
In Peru we "almost sailed to Bolivia" with one traditional floating island of the Urus of the Lake Titicaca.
You for sure know that the Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in
the world, with a surface elevation of 3,812 metre. But did you know? In my
home country Finland there are lakes too. Finland is a land of thousand lakes. Come and see by yourself...Luckily (or because of good planning) our hotel in Puno was
situated alongside the Lake Titicaca. Wonderful views, I must say! For those
hotel guests (not for me) suffering lack of oxygen there were also oxygen
equipments available...
I end this story of mine with the balld of Chabuca Granda and the poem of Antonio Cisneros, both great Peruvian artists.
Have the patience to look at the video above and to read the poem below.
