Quebrada Paredones to Maricunga mine, Atacama desert, Chile

Photo: View of Quebrada Paredones towards the NNE. The road leads to the Maricunga mine. The reddish sediments produce a pleasant colour in the afternoon. You can almost not believe that the sector is located at about 4000 meters high.
The photo was taken from the road that connects La Guardia with the Maricunga gold mine - just from the pass altitude that joins the Quebrada Seca with the Quebrada Paredones. The Maricunga Mine's installations on the horizon / right is seen as a small white dot with a good eye.
Here same sector in winter.
