The Valley of the Fairy Chimneys - Goreme - turkey

Goreme National Park in Cappadocia, central Turkey, is home to one of nature's most intriguing phenomena.
Commonly referred to as the Valley of the Fairy Chimneys, after the strange rock formations that proliferate in the region, this weird and wonderful landscape was formed when three volcanoes, Erciyes, Hasan and Melendiz erupted around 30 million years ago.
The deposits they created make up a material called tuff, a soft rock that is easily eroded to form extraordinary table mountains, fairy chimneys and undulating, and-dune like cliff faces. For hundreds of years, the indigenous population had carved homes out of the rocks.

  2. It was a very interesting visit, is a way to learn about our ancestors. I enjoyed watching the video because I saw a new architecture in which everything is done enjoying what nature gives us, in this case, were the volcanoes.

  3. Hello!
    I've seen very strange houses a television program, as houses shaped car and dog, but were not natural phenomenon. And so I think the Valley of the Fairy Chimneys is a spectacular place.

  14. Hi,
    so your opinions vary.
    Some would like to go there and sleep in such strange houses, others not so much.
    But you must admit it is a beautiful view.
    bye
