EDITORS COMMENTS
Basking in the golden glow of the Chilean sun, the ancient Pukhar Lasana fortress stands proudly against the arid backdrop of the Atacama Desert in Calama, Chile. Built by the indigenous Atacaman Indians over 900 years ago, this 12th-century architectural marvel is a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the people who once inhabited this harsh and unforgiving landscape. The fortress, with its distinct red and brown hues, is a vibrant contrast to the monochromatic desert surroundings. Its exterior walls, made of adobe and stone, have weathered the test of time, preserving the stories of the past within their sturdy embrace. The fortress, an important cultural and historical landmark, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Atacama people, who thrived in this region long before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors. Calama, a modern-day mining town, lies in the foreground, a stark reminder of the contrasting worlds that coexist in this beautiful yet challenging land. The sun casts long shadows over the landscape, creating a breathtaking tableau that speaks to the enduring spirit of the Atacama people and the indomitable power of nature. This photograph captures the essence of Chile's diverse heritage, inviting us to explore the depths of its history and the wonders of its natural beauty.
