San Pedro de Atacama

Moon Valley

San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

Description:

The lunar valley is an amazing natural phenomenon. It is located 17 kilometers from the city of San Pedro de Atacama and is part of the Atacama desert. For several millennia, various cataclysms occurred in this place, which contributed to the formation of a delightful combination of colors and forms.

The lunar valley is really like the moon, there is practically nothing alive in it and it seems as if it really ended up on the moon.

In the valley are dried lakes covered with a beautiful white mantle of salt. Their colors shimmer from green and blue to red and yellow, as well as salt statues, taking many unusual shapes.

Tourists often visit the Moon Valley at sunset, just at this time the shadows mysteriously move around it and the landscape changes with amazing frequency.
