Photo: Cemetery of Lomas Bayas with the pre-cordillera and the Andes
mountain range of the Atacama Region, Chile. Possibly the cemetery with
the widest panoramic view of the world. Lomas Bayas was a mining sector
with a long history. Today, all mines closed - deep silver mines are no
longer profitable.
