Snowshoes walking in Cappadocia

cappadocia snowshoes

Ten millions years ago, 2 volcanoes, Mt Hasan and Mt Argeus covered Cappadocia with volcanic ash, rock and tuff stratum. On this plateau, time and weather conditions worked together to give it a very particular shapes and relieves. This moonscape, certainly the eighth  wonder of the world, is more magnificent, when recovered by snow. It is a real privilege to walk between fairy chimneys  and coves when you have your snowshoes on your feet. Each corner of Cappadocia becomes another world...
