The “Mountain of seven colors”, also known as Winicunca or Rainbow Mountain, is one of Peru’s most impressive tourist destinations.
Located in the Cusco region, this natural wonder sits at an altitude of approximately 5,000 meters above sea level, which means that, despite its vibrant appearance, temperatures can be quite low. However, the majesty of its colors makes the visit worthwhile, offering a unique and visually spectacular experience.
The Mountain of Seven Colors owes its name to the distinctive stripes of colors that compose it, which are the result of a complex combination of minerals. The red is due to the presence of iron oxide, the green to chlorite, the yellow to iron sulfates, and so on, creating a natural palette that looks like something out of a painting.
