Ancient rivers and lakes shaped the landscape over five million years, creating extensive areas of badlands in arid conditions.

Local communities maintain traditional practices while participating in geological research and conservation efforts throughout the protected territory.

Visitors can access guided tours, educational programs, and hiking trails through the official website to explore geological formations and natural landscapes.
