VALLEY OF THE MONKS
Valle de Monjes in Copper Canyon Mexico
Located in the town of Creel is the Valley of the Monks (Valle de Monjes), named for the group of colossal vertical shaped rocks there. The rock formations where sculpted by erosion of the volcanic and sedimentary rock layers, producing some interesting rocks formations. It was originally called Valley of the Erect Penises, however it was changed due to tourists taking offense to the name. Nearby see Valley of the Frogs and Valley of the Mushroom.
