Some wildlife on the Chilean Atacama from a couple of weeks ago. The first, the Viscacha, looks remarkably like a cross between a rabbit and a squirrel but is actually a rodent and lives amongst the rocks. The second is the South American Gray Fox, or the Patagonian Fox, which is found solely in Chile and Argentina #Chile #Atacama

Tried the Chilean plums. Used to the dark red/purple plums. These are red/pink/yellow and delicious.
Really enjoying exploring new produce.
