No need to taking astronaut training to take a walk on the moon. Not when you can visit the Valle de la Luna in the Los Flamencos National Reserve in the Chilean Atacama Desert. Sand dunes and textured rock formations will make you feel like you’ve left planet Earth. Water and wind have created a landscape that looks like the moon. In fact, because of the terrain, a prototype for a Mars Rover was tested there before being sent into space.
The Valle de la Luna, or Moon Valley, is only home to dry lakes with a crystalline coating of salt. Salt-sculptured outcrops and caverns have been created by millennia of floods and wind. The valley is utterly lifeless and quite inhospitable otherwise.
You may never see a sunset over Earth from the moon, but you can definitely take in the pinks and purples from the Valle de la Luna.
