The landscapes of the Tatacoa Desert are simply spectacular
It’s a photographer’s dream destination!
And often looks like something straight out of an old Western film…
You could easily wander its valleys and caverns for hours…
But watch out for cacti…
They can be seriously sharp here!
If it’s possible, the desert is even more beautiful at dusk
And even more surreal as well…
And the fun doesn’t stop at night either: the Tatacoa Desert is famed for stargazing…
Camping here at night is an incredible experience
And you might never see a fuller full moon
The ‘grey desert’ of Tatacoa is just as beautiful as the red…
And is home to some truly surreal rock formations
There are some pretty special oases in the Tatacoa Desert, too
And it’s just as stunning when the sun isn’t shining
But a sunny blue sky doesn’t exactly hurt
And, as if all of that wasn’t enough: tiny cute owls…
