Find the error in the photo on the left... Well yes, we didn't have a grill to cook our meat... So hop, we skewered the steak on the tent pegs, and with a few stones and charcoal, we were able to taste these succulent skewers... It's really classy !!!

UPPER ANTELOPE CANYON

This Canyon (and also the Lower Antelope) was formed by floods following rare rainstorms in this desert. Water carved the rock over centuries, detaching sandstone grains one by one.
With the help of wind, the mountain found itself separated by a fault 2-3 meters wide with unreal curves. The Sun completes this beautiful picture by adding wells of light.

LOWER ANTELOPE CANYON

The Lower Antelope is more curved and deeper than the Upper Antelope. To traverse this fault, you have to use stairs, and sometimes contort yourself to fit the walls so narrow is the passage.
