ʻAʻoleʻo Chile wale nō ka'āina māmā loa maʻAmelika Hema, e hāla ana i 4,630 km ma kaʻaoʻao komohana a he hoʻokahi wale nō 430 km wale nō, akā,ʻo ka'āina nui loa o ka'āina. Mai nā wao nahele nui a me nā lālani pū i nā lua pele hau a me nā glaciers, ua alohaʻo Chile iā ia iho, mai nā minuke mua, a me kona mau nani. ʻO kahi o nā wahi maikaʻi loa o kēia'āina kupaianaha,ʻo ia ka wao akua maloʻo loa o ka honua -ʻo Atakama , kahi e pili pono ai, he wai paʻakai nō ia inoa hoʻokahi. E'ōlelo hou aʻe.
ʻO kaʻikepili nui e pili ana i ke kai
ʻO Lake Atacama (Salar de Atacama)ʻo ia ka makika nui loa ma Chile. Aia ma 55 km ka hema o ke kauhale o San Pedro de Atacama , i hoopuniʻia e ka Andes a me ka lae o Cordillera de Domeico.

ʻO ka wahi o Salar de Atacama he 3000 km² ia, e uhi ana ma mua o 100 km ka lōʻihi a 80km ke akea. ʻO ia ke kolu nui loa loa ma ka honua ma hope o Uyuni i Bolivia (10,588 km²) a me Salines Grandes ma'Atinaina (6000 km²).
He aha nā meaʻono e pili ana i Lake Atacama?
ʻO Salar de Atacama ka meaʻoi aku i kaulana i ka poʻe malihini kipa ma Chile. Aia kekahi mau loko liʻiliʻi ma ka'āina o ke solonchak, e like me ka Laguna Lagoon, kahi nui o nā flamingos, ka Salada Lagoon, ka wai i uhiʻia i nā paʻakai paʻakai, a me Laguna Sekhar, kahi iʻoi aku ka paʻakai ma mua o ka Moana Kai. Eia hou:
- Uaʻikeʻiaʻo Lake Atacama ka mea nui loa a ma ka manawa hoʻokahi nō hoʻi ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe o ka honua i kahi hana o ka lihi. Ka piʻi kiʻekiʻe, ka nui o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe kiʻekiʻe a me ka loli liʻiliʻi loa (
- ʻO kahi o ka solonchak kahi māhele o ka National Park Los Flamencos. ʻO kēia wahi kupaianaha ua lilo ia i puʻu no nāʻano flamingos (Chilean a me Andean), nā kāleka (kāhili hōkū-kāhili, ka piko kuʻi), a pēlā aku, e hana ana i kēia wahi kūpono no ka nānāʻana i nā manu hanohano.
Pehea e hiki ai i laila?
ʻO ke ala maikaʻi e hiki ai i ke kahawaiʻo Atacama e kākau i kahi huakaʻi ma kekahi o nā keʻena o ka hui. ʻO ka hapanui o kēia mau huakaʻi heleʻana,ʻaʻole wale ka heleʻana ma ka wao akua a kokoke i ke kai, akā,ʻo ka kipaʻana hoʻi i nā mines no ka hana minamina. Inā hoʻomākaukauʻoe e hele kaʻawale, e like nō kāuʻaoʻao:
- Santiago - San Pedro de Atacama . ʻO ka mamao ma waena o nā kūlanakauhale ma kahi o 1500 km, akā aia ke ala a pau ma kaʻaoʻao komohana o Chile a hiki iāʻoe keʻoliʻoli i nā kiʻi hoʻoweliweli ma ke alanui.
- San Pedro de Atacama - Lake Atacama. Hoʻokaʻawaleʻia lākou he 50 mau kilomita wale nō, hiki ke loli iki i ka laweʻana i kaʻa ma ke kūlanakauhale no ka uku.
