Vinicunca or Rainbow Mountain are stained in various hues, this natural coloration is given by the presence of sedimentary stones that were eroded thousands of years ago. Its attraction of the rainbow mountain is based on the impressive formation of stones of different uniform colors as red, purple, green, yellow, pink, turquoise and other variations, which give a shape to the colors of the rainbow. Besides Vincunca mountain is surrounded by snow capped mountains and the red valley, with its unique natural formations. The red valley, this is an extension and takes 20 minutes hike. The red valley is another amazing mountain, where the composition of soil is rich in iron, which gives the color to the valley, where in the lower part is born a river, for its red soil sedimentation, being here is like to be in other planet.
