Show NavigationRed Valley, Cappadocia, Turkey
Kasabasi Kizil Vadi, or Red Valley, between Goreme and Cavusin in Nevsehir province, Cappadocia, Central Anatolia, Turkey. The rock formations were made by erosion of the volcanic tuff created by ash from volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. The valley contains many cave houses and churches, carved out of the rock by early christians fleeing persecution by the Romans. The colour of the rock changes dramatically with sunlight and the valley is popular for hiking and hot air balloon flights. This area forms part of the Goreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
