Lunch — San Pedro de Atacama
By early afternoon the road arrives at San Pedro de Atacama, a low adobe town that has served as an oasis and crossroads in this stretch of the Atacama for centuries, long before it became the tourist gateway it is today. Lunch is at Sol Inti, a modest, unpretentious restaurant popular with both locals and travellers for its honest pricing and generous lunch menu — a good, unhurried meal before an afternoon that will otherwise run until sunset.
