Devrent Valley (Imagination Valley)
Devrent Vadisi
Pink volcanic tuff sculpted by the wind into shapes of camels, seals and the Madonna. This free valley is a place to test your imagination, and its signature is the Camel Rock.
Devrent Valley lies between Zelve and Ürgüp. The rocks here are pink and cream-colored, with no windows or man-made carving. They are wind-eroded pillars, which is why it is called the 'Imagination Valley.' The most famous formation is a reclining camel. You can also look for a dolphin, a seal, the Madonna holding the child and Napoleon's hat. The valley is free to enter. A path along the roadside takes 30-45 minutes, and a few stalls by the road sell juice and souvenirs. Nearly every Red Tour stops here for 20-30 minutes. By car from Göreme it takes about 15 minutes, and it can be combined with Zelve, Paşabağ and the Three Beauties in a loop.
