The Rainbow Mountain at Vinicunca:
The mountain is located in the Ausangate Mountain in the Cusco region and has an elevation of approximately 5,200 meters (17,060 feet) above sea level. What defines Rainbow Mountain is its distinct geological composition, which is characterized by a variety of minerals that form bands of varying colors across its slopes. The breathtaking colors of the mountain are the result of millions of years of weathering and mineral deposits. The colorful stripes that give the mountain its iconic appearance are made up of iron oxide (red), copper sulfide (green), and other minerals.
