A landscape of colours await, high in the Andes. An interesting day trip for those keen on hiking.
About 3 hours driving distance from Cusco at an altitude of about 5,000 metres is the remarkable Red Valley canyon and Rainbow Mountain. The Red Valley gets its unusual colour from mineral-rich sediments - iron oxides dominate, painting entire hillsides in reds and russets, with contrasting greens from chlorite layers.
The seven colours of Rainbow Mountain come from different minerals layered next to each other resulting in a landscape of pinks, whites, reds, greens, browns, yellows and turquoises. It feels like a lesson in geology as you hike in the dream-like scenery.
A guided day tour here is ideal for those who enjoy hiking.
