    We rented a car in San Pedro de Atacama and drove through the Atacama Desert. Laguna Chaxa was our first stop which is a huge salt flat region surrounded by the Andes Mountains and filled with flamingos! Next were two gorgeous blue lakes - Laguna Miscanti and Laguna Miniques where we had a picnic with a view!

    WHO ARE KARA AND NATE?!
    New here? We are full-time travel vloggers with a goal of visiting 100 countries before 2019. We make daily travel videos. In these videos you can expect to see the best foods and adventures of every country we visit. ;)
    Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
    We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on UA-cam, such as: +CaseyNeistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown , and any other talented travel vloggers that UA-cam’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)

    One of the most beautiful blogs ever made. The sky is too blue to be real, the lake is too blue to be real as well.. I agree how can a beautiful place like this exists on EArth! more reason to preserve nature and stay green!

    The first time I went to San Pedro de Atacama was in the 60's. It's changed so much! More houses, more people! Still the most awesome desert ever! Chile - from the desert to the glaciers down south! Awesome video - thank you!!

      Heu nope. The guy barely leaves the car and it's mostly shots of his mug. last I checked NG was a little more than a video blog. The climbing community calls these guys "seagulls": they stay close to the shore (or their trawlers). When we see then we know the parking lot is not far. Not trying to be mean here, just realistic.

    Hey Kara and Nate! I discovered your channel (thanks to a random youtube algorithm) about two or three weeks ago and I have watched many of your vlogs but this is my favourite. The nature is absolutely amazing and I’m going to try to convince my parents to go here this summer (winter then there):) I love your channel because you are down to earth, always positive and adventurous! Your positivity actually made me reflect on my own attitude and I think I am more aware now of the moments when I’m unnecessarily negative, so thank you for that haha:)

    I never leave comments on youtube but for this one for some reason I feel like I should. I've been enjoying your videos for a bit now and loved watching all your favourites, and I think this one should be added on the playlist. The scenery is absolutely stunning and the lamas, well that was just magical. Excellent job filming and editing! You guys have such a serene sense of style in creating videos, I love it! Keep it up, Kara and Nate! From Canada🇨🇦

    I’m from Australia. When Nate said “Massive tarantula” I was expecting a spider 10x that size. Then he panned down to this little spider that Kara was screaming at. Hahahahaha pretty sure we had spiders that big in our house when I was a kid.

  • @JP-xo6bp
    @JP-xo6bp 7 років тому +12

    The steering wheel shaking when going above 60 kph is due the brake caliper sticking and/or bad tie-rod ends. Unbalanced tires could also be the issue. Now if the shaking got worse when setting your foot on the brakes then it's bad brake rotors. Have the owner check those items. Hope the car holds up for the rest of the trip :)

    I usually don't comment on youtube but I've been binge watching your videos from the beginning. It all started when I came across your videos of eating bugs and spiders lol and your Everest base camp trek in Nepal. Thanks for all the vlogs and that was really nice of your host to rent you his car in this video and the scenery is something else

    @MammaBear. 7 років тому +3

    In Texas, you see tarantulas crossing the road from one mound to the other. HUNDREDS of tarantulas. It looks like a mass exodus. When you drive over them at high speed, the suction gets them and they fly up in the air. Good fun when you're a kid. :)
