The Atacama Desert—one of the highest and driest places on Earth—felt like another planet. I had dreamed of capturing its otherworldly landscape, with its jagged red rock formations and towering volcanic peaks. My guide led me through a maze of rugged terrain until we reached the edge of a cliff overlooking a vast valley. The view was breathtaking—rolling, eroded rock formations stretched endlessly before me, with the distant peaks of the Andean volcanic range standing like ancient sentinels against the sky.
The mighty Licancabur Volcano loomed in the distance, its near-perfect cone a stark contrast to the rugged terrain below. This region is part of the Central Volcanic Zone, home to some of the tallest volcanoes on the planet. The combination of high altitude and extreme dryness gives the Atacama a Martian feel—NASA even tests rovers here before sending them to space.
As the sun began to set, golden light washed over the valley, transforming the red rocks into fiery hues. The clouds above shifted from deep purples to glowing oranges, painting a scene so surreal it hardly seemed real. I captured frame after frame, trying to preserve the fleeting magic of the moment. Then, I paused. The silence was profound, broken only by the occasional gust of wind. I sat at the cliff’s edge, letting the landscape sink into my soul.
This place felt untouched, eternal, like stepping into a dreamscape frozen in time. The Atacama Desert had given me more than a photograph—it had given me a moment of pure stillness in a world that never stops moving.
