For years we have looked for the travel equivalent of Mos Eisely spaceport--you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy--and we found that equivalent in Calama Chile. <p> When commenters on FlyerTalk, a popular frequent flier bulletin board, were asked what place was "Hell on Earth" one commenter responded:<p> <blockquote><p> My vote goes to Calama, Chile. A dusty desert town of 250,000 with NOTHING! (The only plus is that its the gateway city to San Pedro de Atacama). Lots of miners, prostitutes, and stray dogs. I've talked to people that have been transferred here...and trust me they hate life! </blockquote><p> markj 2007-02-26T11:40:41-05:00 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
