Description
One of the Moais de Tara, a series of spectacular rock formations at an altitude of around 4300m / 14,100ft in the high plains of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. They are also known as Los Monjes de la Pacana ("Pacana Monks") as they are located near the Pacana Hills that cross the desert and some of the formations look like monks. The rocks are of volcanic origin and have been sculpted over time by the strong winds that blow across this harsh yet beautiful landscape. In the distance is the Salar de Aguas Calientes (a high altitude salt flat / lake) and Mt Losloyo (5370m / 17,620ft).
