A hard white plane stretches to the horizon, so flat the sky appears to sit on it. The jeep crunches over gleaming salt; wind tugs at jackets and the sun dares you to look away. Midday brings Incahuasi’s jagged cactus silhouettes—century-old cacti rising from fossilized coral like ancient guardians—while late afternoon pours orange over the flats and a shared glass of wine punctuates the day.
