ALMA, the Atacama Large Millimeter telescope Array, has just come into operation in Chile. This array of 66 linked high-frequency radio telescopes

is the most technically challenging telescope ever built, now providing views of the skies never before seen and at higher resolution than even

the Hubble Space Telescope. I will give a travelog to the ALMA site high in the Andes Mountains and discuss some of the exciting science discoveries

it has already made.
