Once Upon A Time in Latin America (31) the driest place in the world. Sunset in Moon Valley

After back from Mars Valley, we had a rest at the entrance of the scenic spot and waited for the sunset. When it was almost the time, with a whistle, the driver took us straight to the Moon Valley. I had been to several called lunar surfaces-like places, such as Cappadocia in Turkey, Ali in Tibet, and Moon Valley in Jodan. All were spellbinding. I looked forward to seeing as beautiful as view here.

In the driest place in the world, Atacama desert, the magical nature has created a charming landscape. The broad saline land and the eternal snow volcano look unique from afar. There is a special area in the desert where the geographical structure is just like the moon. Therefore, it has been given a beautiful name: Moon Valley, by geographers. It looks like a ring-shaped mountain on the surface of the moon, with uneven caused by ravines. This is due to the seabed crust breaking up and exposing sea level in millions of years. Here, you can see the most beautiful sunset in the desert. It is so magnificent, psychedelic, and gorgeous.

The bus drove up to the vantage point of watching the sunset in the Moon Valley. I did not realize until now that the shocking feeling taken by overlooking view was far than by looking horizontally. The Moon Valley was like an exotic land, in which the cracked landscape, rugged and jagged terrain with the high and low peaks was especially majestic. Many tourists took pictures on the side of the mountain top. Some tourists were even bolder to sit on the rocks on the other side of the mountain, overlook the vast abyss below.     

The sun was about to set. With the gradual change of the sunset, you could see the thick purple far-away, the approaching sky showed ochre, marron, red, orange, and pink. Different reds blended naturally, slowly entered people's vision that your heart became stretched; then, a dreamy and wonderful feeling hit the heart. The beautiful sunset was so charming, so fascinating! The surface of the moon was surreal with a dreamy glow.

The sunset slowly dyed the sky orange-red and turned the earth into a deep purple. The sun gradually disappeared into the horizon. The long night began. As the tourists left, a bright moon was above the Moon Valley. It looked exceptionally quiet.
