The Edge” is staying at exclusive hotel and runs through typical areas of San Pedro de Atacama.

Days before the concert that the band will play Friday in the National Stadium. For the musician, and one of the founders and most recognizable faces of the quartet, arrived on a commercial flight to Santiago on Saturday and headed for San Pedro de Atacama, in order to rest beside his wife, the dancer Morleigh Steinberg and two sons.

In northern Chile, the Irish are staying at the hotel today Awasi, one of the most exclusive of the region and   concentrated basically in visitors from Europe and the U.S..

The artist is a logical choice: with only eight suites and minimum rates ranging from U.S. $ 1,340 ($ 645,000) per person for two nights, this is a place that guarantees absolute privacy and confidentiality to its guests. In fact, some staff will be required not to reveal details of the stay of the guitarist.

The musician chose a complete package that allowed him to have personal transportation between the airport of Calama and location (distance of about 100 km) and an individual guide for excursions in the area. It was the choice made yesterday morning with his clan left in a 4x4 vehicle to visit places like the Salar de Atacama, Valley of the Moon and Lake Cejas.

During the rest of the day resting in a mud hut, thatched roof made up of lanterns, wooden floor, private patio areas for relaxation, individual solariums and beds with cotton sheets and blankets alpaca. Sometime today we expect the whole group to head to the captiol. Not sure when.

So what about the rest of the boys? Well Chile today looks like the day we can expect them all to arrive. The crew has been workin 18 hour days to get everything ready for thier arrival. They had been expected to land last night, local rumors suggested. However that was not the case. We expect to see them later today.
