Taste the rainbow! Weathering and mineralogy have resulted in these colorful mountains in what country?

Peru's Vinicunca (also called the "mountain of seven colors") makes for a surreal landscape. Located in the Andes, these fairytale colors – yellows, reds, greens, and purples – are the result of an array of minerals; iron sulphide for the yellows, rust for the reds, chlorite for the greens, and goethite or oxidized limonite for the purples. Take in these beauties at some point during your technicolor visit to Peru, and you might just feel you're not in Kansas anymore.
