Tourists career down a mountainous sand dune in the aptly named Valley of the Moon region of Chiles Atacama Desert.

This stark landscape between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains is considered the driest place on Earth, and some areas here have not received a drop of rain in hundreds of years. The terrain is so arid and forbidding, scientists came here to test the prototype for a rover destined for Mars.

旅游者愿意速滑下到山一样的沙丘，最合适的是智利的“月亮谷”。

这是在风景如画的太平洋和安第斯山脉之间，是地球上一处干燥的地方。在这里已经有一百多年没有下过一滴雨水。这地形令人十分可怕的，科学家曾到此处测试。
