Reserva Nacional Los Flamencos
Within the Reserva Nacional Los Flamencos is the Valle de la
Luna (Valley of the Moon), a surreal landscape of salt peaks formed
by uplifted lake sediments that have been shaped into dramatic
formations by wind erosion. With a surreal blend of pastel colours
the valley is even more enchanting at sunset. A striking feature of
northern Chile's geography is the shimmering and apparently endless
salt lakes that are home to many bird species. The Salar de Atacama
in the reserve has a lagoon, Laguna Chaxa, which supports three
species of flamingos as well as other bird life. The salt lake also
affords good views of the volcanoes in the Andean chain of
mountains on the near distant altiplano.
