Sunset at 2,580 meters (8,464.56 ft) above sea level, the Valley of Mars, the Valley of the Moon (Valle de la Luna), San Pedro de Atacama, the Atacama Desert, Chile.

It has an impressive range of color and texture, looking somewhat similar to the surface of the moon. There are also dry lakes where the composition of salt makes a white covering layer of the area. It presents diverse saline outcrops which appear like man-made sculptures. There are also a great variety of caverns.

 

When the sun sinks, it is painting pie tones the edges of hills and defiles, while the wind blows among the rocks and the sky passes from pink color to purple and finally black.
