The reason for the formation of Do Mola Geopark

It took thousands of years to form such a magnificent and astonishing valley due to natural and geological factors. The soils of geopark are prone to drift due to their sandy nature, and these soils are washed away by rains and floods. This erosive factor has caused the formation of this deep valley and has created geological forms in its place, which are of great importance in terms of geotourism.
