RE: My Favorite Places: Peru's Rainbow Mountains
Truly beautiful! What makes the mountains change colors like that? :) how strange that it only became a tourist attraction so recently.

It is! It has to do with the mineral content in the rock and soil, they have mountains like this in many other countries as well such as China and Argentina. I was surprised how young it was a tour option too! But it seems like all the local farmers are making good money from the tourists so it's a good thing I think! Thanks for reading!
Okay that is cool! And good if local farmers can benefit of the tourism too not only the ones organizing the trips. :)
