We stayed at 2400 metres in San Pedro de Atacama. An oasis in the desert fed from the melting snow of the soaring 6000m peaks gushing into the rivers that run through the historic town. It's not far from

“Why Chile?” Said Jack back in February, “We don’t speak Spanish!” “You don’t speak Spanish when you go to Spain either”, I replied. Nonplussed, he didn’t mention it again until September when one of their favourite TV shows, Race across the World’, hosted a clutch of celebrities struggling..
