THE RAINBOW MOUNTAIN AND THE RED VALLEY TOUR 1- DAY

from $90.00

The gemstone-shaded stripes along the body of Vinicunca, the Mountain of Seven Colors, are the chemical results of melted ice. Rising temperatures defrosted the once snow-capped range, wich stretches along the Cusco region of Peru, and the remaining water mixed with the rust, sulphur and limonite minerals that lay beneath the ground to create this natural, kaleidoscopic masterpiece.
