When one reaches the environment of the Antelope CanyonIn the United States, you have the feeling of being in a place that does not belong to Earth. It's like having landed on another planet. But, entering it through a small crack in the ground is like entering a magical and unreal world, created between high vertical walls of rock.
To find it you have to travel to the city of Page, in the state of Arizona. Very close, and within the navajo indian reservation, there is the Antelope Canyon (or Antelope Canyon), a phenomenon geological reddish in color, the result of erosion of sandstone. A wonder of nature.
A natural spectacle
If you want to know the Antelope Canyon, the first thing you should know is that free entry to it is not allowed. You can only visit it if you are accompanied by a native Navajo, since it is located precisely in lands of the Indian reserve. We already spoke to you on one occasion about the attraction of visiting the Indian reservations in Arizona.
This canyon is a special place for them, very spiritual, so they want to protect it to the maximum. Furthermore, there is a danger of floods due to torrential rains in the region, another reason why it cannot be visited if you are not accompanied by a guide.
There are actually two cannons: one upper and one lower. The high rock walls, sometimes zig zagged, can reach 40 meters Tall. It is an authentic spectacle to contemplate these walls and to see the exterior light above. Although it is not a tourist-exploited place, when you visit it try to go very early or at the last minute, especially if you go in high season.
The canyon has a special charm for photographers, who can develop their creativity there. In fact, there are photo tours organized, in case you are interested in knowing the canyon from this point of view.
