Moon Valley

The moon valley in La Paz is said to look just like the surface of the moon.

We assume the people that say this have never seen a picture of the moon.

image

It is a valley made of mudstone.

image

But instead of being wind eroded like the hoodoos in Alberta, it is primarily eroded by rain, so the structures are more vertical.

image

It is also in the middle of the city and being rapidly overtaken by houses.

image

The valley stretches off away from the city and is quite wide.

image

There are paths through the structures so that you can get a good look without damaging them.

image

Which makes it hard to play hide and seek.

image

Pink is also not the best colour for camouflage.

image

But there was a good view.
