San Pedro de Atacama

San Pedro is brilliantly unspoiled, as yet. There are no chain hotels or shops, no 2-storeys or up, and the population, 90% Amerindian, seem to cope with the influx of tourists in a way that keeps the town going without spoiling it. You have trips every day to all sorts of places, yet even in the biggest ´supermarket´ there is counter service. There is only one ATM in town and it´s permanently out of order, and last night at 10:30 there was a full Easter parade along the dusty main street.
