Chile and Bolivia felt like several countries in one. In just a few days, I went from the misty hills of Chiloé to the fiery reds of the Atacama Desert, then across the Bolivian Altiplano to the vast Salar de Uyuni, before ending my journey on remote Easter Island. It was my first time in Latin America, and I traveled for three weeks with my camera in hand, letting the landscapes guide my steps.

In the south, the light was soft and the air heavy with moisture. I spent long moments watching clouds drift across the snowy peak of Osorno Volcano. On Chiloé, I walked through endless green fields where small red houses stood alone, weathered by wind and time.

Then everything changed. In San Pedro de Atacama, the silence became louder. The desert felt like another planet. I watched geysers rise with the sun, waited for the right moment at the Miscanti Lagoon, and stood alone at sunset in the Valley of the Moon, where the rocks turned gold, then pink, then blue. It was raw, wild, and infinite.

From San Pedro de Atacama, I crossed into Bolivia to explore the high-altitude Altiplano and the Salar de Uyuni. The salt flat felt unreal, like snow under the sun, but without the cold. The surface was carved into endless hexagonal shapes, stretching to the horizon. The Altiplano itself was almost uninhabited, a vast and silent world of dry textures, volcanic peaks, and wild beauty.

I ended my journey on Easter Island, drawn by the mystery of the Moai statues and the quiet rhythm of the Pacific. There, under a pale sky, wild horses roamed freely across the hills. It felt like the end of the world. Or maybe the beginning of something else.

This series is my way of remembering. The long roads, the quiet mornings, the changing skies. Every photo is a trace of a place that moved me. A story of contrast, of light, and of distance.
