Not to be confused with Chile’s Valle de la Luna, Argentina’s version in Ischigualasto Provincial Park is one of the most surreal places on Earth. This Martian-like desert is filled with bizarre rock formations, dry riverbeds, and landscapes that feel straight out of a sci-fi movie. The valley is also one of the world’s richest fossil sites, dating back 225 million years to the Triassic period. If you love both alien landscapes and prehistoric wonders, this place is for you.
