I find this photo really striking because it looks like the cacti are flipping the bird. Oh, and there's salt all over the ground.

Final day. We arrived at the Isla del Pescado just after sunrise, and after Mercedes bought our entrance tickets (why in the world are there entrance tickets?!) we started the ascent. It's no mountain and the altitude of 3600 meters was much better than the last two days, but it was still a slow climb for me. Coated in cacti, the small island provided a wonderful vantage point for gazing at the beautiful, harsh salt plains./div>
