Valle de la Luna, Protected natural area in La Paz, Bolivia.
The geological site contains tall clay spires and formations shaped by wind and rain, displaying shades of beige, brown, red, and violet across its surface.
Natural erosion processes over centuries have removed the mountain's upper sections, transforming the clay soil into the current geological formations visible today.
During the Day of the Dead celebration, local residents gather at Valle de la Luna to participate in traditional ceremonies and connect with their heritage.
Located 10 kilometers from downtown La Paz, the protected area features walking paths and observation points for visitors to explore the geological structures.
The mineral composition of the mountains creates distinct optical effects throughout the day as sunlight interacts with the varied colored slopes.
