Take-off Area
The Soğanlı valley offers mesmerizing views of the Capadoccian landscape. The take-off area is nestled amidst beautiful mountains and dramatic expanses of soft volcanic rock. Shaped by erosion over centuries, this region features impressive towers, cones, valleys, and caves. The volcanic eruptions that once rained ash across Central Anatolia created a unique landscape of fairy chimneys. This ash hardened into tuff, a soft, porous rock that forms the distinctive scenery of the valley.
