    The Church of San Pedro de Atacama is a monastery with a history of more than 500 years. The color of the entire church building is khaki, which looks very old. The decoration inside the church is very simple, and the triangular roof of the wooden board looks particularly plain. Maybe this is what the church really looks like, and it is worth coming to listen to the chanting quietly.

    The Andean Plateau Lake in Atacama is a large alpine freshwater lake. The lake water here is mainly formed by the melting snow from the surrounding mountains. The lake surface is very calm, and it feels like a huge mirror, reflecting the surrounding snow-capped mountains and blue sky and white clouds. It is very beautiful.
