El Norte Grande–um, *how* high up are we?–Part 2

¡Hola todos! As promised, here’s the next part of my norte grande adventure! In this post I’ll be talking about my visit to Arica and el Parque Nacional Lauca. Here’s the map again so you can keep up! The overnight bus we took from Calama reached Arica around 8 in the morning.

When life gives you lemons, go to a protest.

This probably isn’t the update you were anticipating, but I hope it’ll be entertaining nonetheless (I swear I’m working on a desert trip post)! Today I’m going to talk about my new university, the classes I’m taking and give a brief introduction to the Chilean student/education movement.
