Once Upon A Time in Latin America (30) the driest place in the world. Wind raged in the Mars Valley

The next attraction was Mars Valley. Mars Valley is also the result of plate movement. It is named because of the Mars-like landform. Mars Valley has steep rock walls and sand dunes. The sand dunes have a large gap. The wind always rages.

You must wear hiking shoes if you are going to Mars Valley. It turned out that wearing sport shoes was really wrong, especially the leaky net one I was wearing. The sand in my shoes was enough to build a castle. Just like God intentionally put us to the real Mars. We drink wind and ate soil all afternoon.

It took us about thirty minutes to walk from the place where we set off to the top of Moon Valley. As a person who exercises regularly, these thirty minutes unexpectedly seemed to be a long struggle for me. Walking on piles of hard sand had a feeling of falling down that made you feel more and more strenuous by step. In addition, you'd better have a mask and sunglasses. The wild and sand here was really not a joke. It hurt on the skin. It was said that some people were even blown down the cliff by the strong wind.

Well, of course, "Endless awe-inspiring views atop the precipitous peaks". To the top of the mountain, you can see the yellow, brown, orange, and the red world, with columns, strips, and sand dunes. On the left side, there were piles of powerful triangle-shaped mountains straight into the sky. On the right side, there were various textures across the huge mountains. Coupled with the tyranny of the terroir, here was exactly the red surface of Mars. But the beautiful ladies cheering in front, and the conical snow mountain behind, took us back from Mars to the earth.

Hey hey @martibis founder of @pinmapple and Haveyoubeenhere here, I was wondering if you were up for a bit of an experiment! 😄

I want to test an assumption which is that using Haveyoubeenhere is infinitely more enjoyable when you already know some people on the platform! So I am gathering 15 high quality travel content creators to, well, get to know each other some and then afterwards all together test out Haveyoubeenhere for a bit! 😄 If it sounds like something you would like to help out with you can join the Discord and just hit me up there! For bragging rights in the future you will get the "haveyoubeenhere-og" role in the Discord too, haha! 😄
