Journey through Brazil, Argentina, and Chile with Johnny Morris

'Many tears have been shed over this useless lump of land. Tears of joy when they found nitrate here and tears of disappointment when the bottom fell out of the market... everybody had to leave. There was nobody left to water the trees and they slowly and sadly died.'
In Chile, Johnny moves a thousand miles north from Santiago to the strange old nitrate port of Iquique. The town, made almost entirely of timber, was a boom town at the turn of the century. Looming over it is the Atacama Desert, said to be the most arid place on earth. There Johnny finds the derelict nitrate workings and a surprising oasis, before ending his journey in Valparaiso.
