Duna de la luna

¡Gracias! Thanks!

El Valle de la Luna es un paraje desértico perteneciente a la Región de Antofagasta; se ubica a 13 kilómetros al oeste de San Pedro de Atacama. En 1982 fue declarado santuario de la naturaleza y es parte de la Reserva Nacional Los Flamencos.Este lugar es una depresión pequeña que rodea Sierra Orbate a 2500 msnm y forma parte de la Cordillera de la sal. Fue formado a lo largo de milenios por la erosión fluvial y eólica, las que han tallado su suelo en formas tales como: crestas con puntas, hondonadas, montículos de colores grises y ocres, que le dan esa apariencia lunar tan característica.

Valley of the Moon (Valle de la Luna) is one of the most visited places in and around San Pedro de Atacama and is located 13 kilometers west of San Pedro in the Cordillera de la Sal, in the Atacama desert of Chile. It’s an interesting place with stone and sand formations which have been created through the centuries by floods and wind, which has also given it an extraordinary color and texture, looking similar to the surface of the moon. From a large sand dune in the valley, it is possible to appreciate all the marvelous and surprising features of this zone. In Valle de la Luna there are dry lakes where the composition of salt makes a beautiful white covering layer of the area; escarpments in all colors; green, blue, red and yellow, which color the sunlight changes depending on the time of day and is especially beautiful at sunset. It presents diverse saline outcrops which look like real sculptures and contains as well as a great variety of caverns.

    as always, beautiful shot of pepix2007
    Stupenda foto: quel taglio netto della duna, l'ombra netta, il paesaggio incatenato sullo sfondo, i colori, la sagoma di un uomo, a rendere le dimensioni... tutto affascinante e perfetto.

    La foto preciosa, y el lugar muy interesante. Pero oye, ¿por qué se ve tanta gente en la foto? ¿Ïbais en grupo grande? ¿Es demasiado turístico? Yo había oído hablar del lugar, y había visto fotos; pero si hay mucha gente la cosa cambia. Igual algún día me cuentas sobre ese viaje. Saludos.

    Gracias Epicuro por tus comentarios y elegirla favorita.Nuestro grupo era pequeño, pero el que se vea bastante gente, se debe a que van a contemplar la puesta de sol en ese punto, si te desvías un poco o en cualquier otro momento del día...lo puedes tener para ti o pocos más :)
