Taltal sightseeing

Habitat overview - Oxalis gigantea growing at the cabanas north of Taltal.
The camanchaca (coastal fog) hitting the hills in the background ensures that
some plants will be watered today.

Please remind me why we clamber over hill & dale to look for cacti, when these grow right in front of our accommodation?!
