- Le Salar de Uyuni
E1Le Salar de UyuniThe Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is an unusual, indeed utterly unique desert, where Earth and Sky appear to flow and fuse together in a fantastic fashion. Its surreal, otherworldly appearance is astonishing -especially at the end of the rainy season, when a thin layer of water covers the area and doubles the visible world. - Le désert de Mojave
E2Le désert de MojaveThe Colorado Plateau exhibits dramatic rock formations and gorges. Enormous stone ships lie stranded, totem-like columns jut out into the sky, and the goblins of Goblin Valley raise the curtain on another world. Persons climbing down into the slot canyons encounter astonishing, solidified waves, columns of light and dramatic multi-colored lightshows. - Le désert de Wadi Rum
E3Le désert de Wadi RumJordan's pink-hued Wadi Rum is a jewel among deserts:rocky and coarse, but saturated with fine pink sand. As astronauts have observed, though the landscape is terrestrial, the panorama is more reminiscent of the Moon's surface. And, nearby the desert is legend-shrouded Petra. Even the entrance way, a narrow gorge leading up to al-Siq's stone-cut facade, is spectacular.
