Marchal Badlands (Cárcavas de Marchal)

Highlight • Canyon

This clay massif of reddish and yellowish hues is formed from the movements of the Earth's plates, which caused the area to sink 25 million years ago. Erosion due to its particular climate leaves a unique landscape, characterized by ravines, rills and deep ditches. Without a doubt, it is worthy of admiration.
