Valle de la Luna
This is the best way I can try and describe this landscape without photos, bare with me. If you have been here you will know what I mean.
I´ve seen mountains, rivers, valleys, gorges, rainforests, beaches, reefs and the sea in all kind of different ways, i.e. huge snow capped mountains with waterfalls pouring off them into the ocean below at Milford Sound, desereted beaches with amazing seas, bubbling mountain rivers and massive rivers cutting through gigantic gorges etc. BUT its not often at the grand old age of 27 that you get to see a totally new landscape. Hundreds of kilometers of red desert with 6500+ meter active volcanos standing pefrectly formed in the distance, add to that crazy formations carved by the wind, gigantic sand dunes, and all covered in a white layer of salt which stops the growth of ANY vegetation, then smack in the middle add the 3rd largest salt lake, the clearest skies in the world and sunsets that produce colours unimaginable. I never expected to get the feeling of seeing something as amazing as this for the first time again.
I wish I had listened harder in English class so that I had better words to describe it to you, but unfortunately, put simply, you will all have to come here to believe it.
Right enough corny rubbish, you get the drift, so I´m off for a beer.

P.S Looks like I just managed to upload one photo, but I can`t be bothered to rewrite the message, so look at it then imagine its not there.
