  • 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.

    It is a valley made of mudstone.

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

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

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

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

    Which makes it hard to play hide and seek.

    Pink is also not the best colour for camouflage.

    But there was a good view.
