After Geysers

After the Geyser Field we went on to tour a few things in the area. A few kilometers down the road from the geysers we stopped as the tour guides gave us little bits of information on the local geography, geology and flora and fauna.



In the next two photos you can see this funny rabbit like creature with a long tail.




This time we spotted some guanacos (vicuñas) on the Chilean side of the border.We stopped at one small lake on this post-geyser tour and it had a different species of flamencos found only in Chile.

We stopped in a small town where the locals were selling their wares and local food.
Notice anything out of place here? I thought it was funny that street lights were present. I got the feeling that this little village could have the look and feel of conventional modern town if it wanted, but that it chose to stay this way for tourist reasons. If so, I support them.
