Transportation – We are tracking inter-country transportation separately. In the case of Chile, we took a bus from the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia to San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. The bus ride was included in our Salt Flats tour. We also transferred back and forth between Chile and Argentina via bus a few times (near Calafate, to Chile Chico). Those are included in the above transportation costs.
Gear – New shoes and other gear for Africa.
