Calama - Valparaíso

Calama is a couple of hours away from San Pedro, and the largest city in the area. From there, we caught a bus southwards to Valparaíso - a mammoth 22 hour journey! Luckily, buses here are very very good, quite a bit nicer than National Express and Greyhound. The seats go way back, and have funny little calf-rests that pop up under your feet. We got three films (Angel Eyes, Matrix Revolutions - a pirated version! -, and Showtime); pillows; blankets; free snacks, tea and coffee, and even a cheese sandwich for tea!
