Zum Abschluss unseres Aufenthalts in der Atacama Wüste geben wir uns heute noch den Sonnenuntergang im Valle de la Luna. Anscheinend die grösste Touristenattraktion in der Gegend. Wir machen uns aufRead more
Wieder einmal aufs Rad geschwungen habe ich mich ins ach so berühmte "Valle de la Luna" (=Mondtal) begeben. Was "normale" Menschen scheinbar in 3-5 Stunden erkunden, habe ich in fast 8 StundenRead more
After walking for about 15 min in the salt cave, we were actually still walking in the canyon. The actual cave started after that. We turned on our lamps and went into the cave.
About 10 min into the cave, we saw light at the end and above. That was the cave exit.
The salt cave exit opens up towards the top instead of a horizontal exit. At the end, there is a steep climb up to the top of the canyon. There are very interesting salt and clay formations here.
The climb out of the cave was a steep climb to the top of the canyon. It was quite windy there. Top was about 20-25 mts above the cave exit.
There is a path at the top of the salt cave canyon all the way to the front and then down near the entrance. There were some very beautiful clay and salt formations here.
