travel diary 6

Within this valley 4000 metres above sea level we visited a standing rock formation that had formed millions of years ago by volcanic eruptions.

The rocks that exploded from the volcan landed here, like this, in the valley. In fact, geologists are able to detect and prove that this rock is from the volcanic explosion. Seeing this was pretty mind blowing and honestly felt like we were in the Nevada desert in Utah, but here we were high up in the cold air of the Atacama.
