In July / August 2009, Sven and three friends from Adelaide (Kirsten, Peter and Jenny) travelled for 28 days through South America. This blog contains Sven's photos and [brief] commentary from this trip.
Nazca - Gold Extraction Tour
The second day in Nazca was a blur of excursions. The first was a tour of a business that processed ore (mined outside of Nazca) to extract gold. The ore was crushed into a fine powder by a bunch of guys rocking a boulder back and forth. A few basic chemical processes where then applied to the slurry to remove various impunities.
