Salt lakes at San Pedro de Atacama Northern Chile

Near Mendoza Argentina

Spent the night here in Southern Bolivia 4,500m -15c Mog was warm inside and all water tanks are in the main cabin so no frozen water. The next morning we had a hot shower and went on our way. 500l water lasts us around 7 days with good showers every day. You could double that if you were frugal.
Driving on the rough tracks in this high country I was pleased to be in"The Unimog" as it handles it so well.
I always run the motor for 15 minutes every morning before setting off.
