Walk In La Valle De La Luna

“From Casa 1, it was approximately a 1.5 hour walk through terrestrial terrain to reach the Tres Marias, past famous landmarks like el Amphiteatro. [...] As we walked through the valley, we were in awe of the gigantic sand and rock formations formed by changes in wind and water over millions of years. Massive rocks are strewn all over the place, some carved out in such a fashion that we were obliged to stop and admire them. Before making our way back to the bikes, we made a pit-stop to check out the nearby canyon. At first glance it didn’t look like much. Then we weaved our way in between the narrow paths of the orange-coloured rock face and found ourselves deep in the canyon. At some points we were crawling on the ground with our head lamps, unsure exactly of where we were going, until we saw daylight and an arrow that led us back around in a loop, back to our bikes.”

“The hike is a loop, and after walking to the farthest viewpoint, we walked along the ridge to another viewpoint which gave us a great view of the entire sand dune. The hike was surprisingly difficult since we were walking in sand and it was so sunny and dry out. [...] The hike was through sand again, but the view at the top was wonderful, with great view of the ampitheatre. As a bonus, there were no other people there so we had the whole view to ourselves!”
