Marafa Hell’s Kitchen Tour
Marafa Canyon, also known as “Cucina del Diavolo”, is a surreal place where infernal temperatures are reached which, depending on the time of day, change color. It is the largest depression in Kenya and attracts visitors precisely because of its surprising colors and its enchanting and at the same time disturbing morphology.
It is called by the locals “Nyari”, literally translated “the place that breaks by itself”. It is characterized by sandstone rock which, due to rain and wind, has eroded over the millennia giving life to a canyon of a thousand shades of color where pinnacles, ravines, gorges, pinnacles and stone pillars with heights alternating touch 30 meters, creating a show that has no equal.
The most fascinating view is at sunset, when the sunlight joins the color of the earth and the rocks take on different colors ranging from white, to pink, to orange, to red: a miracle of unique nature.
