Valley of the Moon, or Valle de la Luna, is a beautiful expansive landscape amidst Chile’s Atacama Desert. There are many sand and stone formations that have been carved by water and wind over the years. The range of textures and colors make for some amazing photographs; the texture of the surface is said to resemble the moon, hence the name. The various natural formations, such as dry lakes, caverns, and hills, are great to explore and show visitors a side of Chile that can’t be seen anywhere else. There are many tour companies that will take visitors on journeys through the valley and pinpoint some of the best features there are. The wonderful natural phenomenon is a geological beauty and shouldn’t be missed. Map
