There Is A Mountain With The Colors Of The Rainbow In Peru And, Obviously, You Will Want To Go There ALREADY

There is no doubt that Peru is full of wonderful things : charming people, dreamy natural spaces, delicious food and stunning culture.

And, if that were not enough, it is also home to this amazing colorful mountain that is taking over the best Instagram photos.

It is the Mountain of the Seven Colors or Vinicunca, located near the Ausangate, in the region of Cusco.

But… how is a mountain so naturally colorful? You might ask?

Well, the reason for this explosion of different shades is due to the richness of minerals and sedimented stones found in their soils.

The interesting thing is that this wonder had not been discovered by most tourists, until recently.

According to many local claims , it has also spent much of its existence covered with snow, and with all the climate changes lately, the mountains have finally let their colors show.

This is the reason why National Geographic added it to its Top 5 of the places you must visit in Peru in 2017.
And now, as expected, Instagram is being invaded by a lot of photos in this magical place.

To have the best photos when you visit this place, we recommend the summer time, because the colors are more vibrant when it is warm.

Although there are currently tourist agencies that approach the entrance to the mountain, you still have to walk a path, so wearing exercise clothes is highly recommended.
