Piedra Colgada en Atacama: La Piedra, el cementerio, ferrocarril y el ex-matadero.

Excursion to Piedra Colgada, a village, 20 kilometres away from Copiapó. We are going to analyse the stone, a heritage with noises. A couple of meters in distance the historical cemetery, and of course the village with its beautiful church. The former railway station of Piedra Colgada is hardly recognisable, as well as the slaughterhouse.
