Charyn Canyon
Canyon Bestamak
Moon canyon
Surely before us you have already contacted our colleagues and this location was presented by all of them in the first place. Do not be surprised, but we are there too. The place is so unusual that even experienced tourists return to the canyon more than one (attention) dozen times.
Here is what Wikipedia says about this place:
The canyon stretches for 154 km along the Charyn River In Kazakhstan. The canyon is located 195 km east of the city of Almaty, near the border with China. The Charyn Canyon is a natural monument made up of sedimentary rocks, whose age is about 12 million years. The height of the steep mountains of the canyon reaches 150-300 m. Until now, some of our compatriots are arguing about how it appeared .. thanks to the wind or the sea is to blame. Guess the correct answer?
We have candy!

This is the Charyn Canyon in miniature. As a natural channel for rainfall, the canyon winds its way through crumbling rocks and
eventually connects with the main canyon of the Charyn River. The main distinguishing feature of the sculptural forms of the Small Canyon is
an abundance of various towers and sculptures.
Due to a rare combination of geological factors, interesting fossils of extinct representatives of flora and fauna are found in the Bestamak Canyon.
In a word, there is something to tell and show!
And we look forward to the chance to do it for you :)

Getting ahead of your question about what does the moon have to do with it? We will answer that both locations (the moon and the canyon of the same name in Kazakhstan) are really connected by a similar landscape and the name was invented by the people, where the cinema about space is very popular. Waiting for something filmed about aliens here.
The canyon is also called “Yellow” because of the color of the rocks and “Valley of Yurts” because the forms of the canyon, honed by the wind, painfully resemble them.
In a word, there will be a lot of impressions from this location, like all tourists who have been here.
