Mano del Desierto, Panamerican Highway, Atacama Desert, Chile, South America
The Mano de Desierto is a large-scale sculpture of a hand located in the Atacama Desert in Chile, 75 km to the south of the city of Antofagasta, on the Panamerican Highway. The nearest point of reference is the Ciudad Empresarial La Negra (La Negra Business City). The sculpture was constructed by the Chilean sculptor Mario Irarrázabal at an altitude of 1,100 meters above sea level. Irarrázabal used the human figure to express emotions like injustice, loneliness, sorrow and torture. Its exaggerated size is said to emphasize human vulnerability and helplessness. The work has a base of iron and concrete, and stands 11 metres (36 ft) tall. Funded by Corporación Pro Antofagasta, a local booster organization, the sculpture was inaugurated on March 28, 1992. It has since become a point of interest for tourists traveling Route 5, which forms part of the Pan-American Highway. It is an easy victim of graffiti and is therefore cleaned occasionally. From Antofagasta, one can take Route 26 or Route 28, both of which connect to Route 5.

Ride Day 61: Antofagasta to La Serena, Chile
Full Post: La Serena, another port town on the West Coast of Chile was my next stop on my determined way to Santiago.
As I discussed in my previous post to Antofagasta, I was going to put in some big miles to get to Santiago as I would need to get my KTM Super Adventure serviced, new tires and also replace parts in my helmet, which was causing me issues.
After just one night in Antofagasta, I left before daybreak so I could get off a great start, on a journey which would cover over 550 miles (900 km)
Hand of the Desert - Mano del Desierto
The Hand of the Desert (Mano del Desierto) is about an hour outside of Antofagasta, along Ruta 5. It is not exactly in the greatest setting, but it is pretty cool. I would think about 15-30 minutes is all you need here. Probably best in the evening for photos with the sun coming up beh9nd you. I got there at first light, and it was pretty cool, but the sun was rising behind it, making it tougher to get a good shot!
To La Serena
I would travel via Panamericana Norte/Ruta 5 on my way to La Serena. Zig Zagging through seaside towns of Taltal, Cifuncho, Chañaral, Caldera, Vallenar, La Higuera and then finally onto La Serena.
La Serena
La Serena is the capital of the Coquimbo region on Chile’s coast. The city is known for its long beaches, like El Faro with its landmark Faro Monumental lighthouse, and its colonial and neo-colonial architecture. The late-Renaissance Iglesia de San Francisco is one of many churches dominating the skyline. The Archaeological Museum displays pre-Hispanic pottery and a giant stone head (moai) from Easter Island. From Wikipedia
Hotel Playa Campanario - La Serena - Chile
I got there around 6 pm and my room was ready on arrival, it was a pretty basic hotel, but I could park my bike right at reception. There was a pretty simple, but nice and cool swimming pool and rooms were very simple. I had a nice little balcony.
The WiFi is very basic with less than 1 Mbps download and about 0.5 Mbps upload. So not much can be done with this.
The people at the hotel were nice and very helpful.
Once I got to my room, I got all my gear ready, all my devices on the charge, showered and changed and then I went touring the little city.
I went for a walk to local shops, got some delicious street food, then went for a swim in the pool and returned after about 3 hours.

Episode 5 - Desert and Cape
Alex survives his all-night ordeal on the streets of Tacna, Chile, and decides to hitchhike south along the Pan-American Highway towards the capital Santiago. The problem is, no one in Chile actually picks up hitchhikers. With water and resources in short supply, Alex finds himself under the blazing sun of the Atacama Desert many miles out of town and in a very precarious position.
Help comes in the form of a good Samaritan who pulls up and gives Alex enough pesos to get him to the town of Antofagasta. Arriving cold and hungry in the pre-dawn hours, Alex finds his way to the house of last-minute web supporter Cecilia. A friendly door opens, and relief comes not only in the form of some Chilean hospitality, but also with news of a plane ticket waiting to take him from South America all the way to Cape Town, South Africa! Before leaving the continent, Alex arrives in the capital Santiago where he stays with web supporters JP and Andrea, taking a tour of the city and enjoying a big local grill out on his final night. He reconnects with cameraman Zsolt and the two of them embark on the long plane ride to South Africa.
Alex arrives in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa and is put up in the suburb of Muizenberg in web supporter and artist Tom’s home. He meets the family and takes a quick tour of the spectacular oceanside neighborhood.
That night host Tom, who’s also a gourmet chef, prepares a South African feast of ostriche at home, then takes Alex to Cape Town’s happening Bang Bang Club to see local band The Dirty Skirts in exchange for some work behind the bar.
The next day Alex heads to the Stellenbosch wine producing region to work off some of his party tab by lending a helping hand to some hard-working ladies in the picture-perfect vineyards.

ANTOFAGASTA, LA ÚNICA REGIÓN DE CHILE QUE AÚN, NO TIENE SU BANDERA
Antofagasta es la única región del país que no cuenta con una bandera; hecho curioso y que no deja de llamar la atención, por lo que provocó la reacción del Gobierno Regional que impulsará un concurso para que sea la propia población quien elija que elementos deben componer este símbolo.
