The Desert Speaks
Tracking Trade into the Chilean Andes
Season 18 Episode 9 | 26m 20sVideo has Closed Captions
We trace the Atacama Desert Trade route from the Pacific coast to the Chilean Andes.
In this episode, host David Yetman, historian Bill Beezley and Archeologist María José Figuerero trace the Atacama Desert Trade route from the Pacific coast to the Chilean Andes from sea level to 15,000 feet elevation. Though a modern paved road has replaced the ancient llama caravan trail, the road still connects the goods from the Andes with the marine resources from the coast.
