#10       The Rainbow Mountain in Peru Looks Unreal — But You Can Actually Go Here,More info:travelandleisure

While you’ll probably never make it to Oz, you can go to a land where you’ll be positively surrounded by color. Just take a trip down to the Rainbow Mountain in Peru.

Vinicunca, also called Montaña de Siete Colores (Mountain of Seven Colors), is located in the Andes in the Cusco region of Peru. In order to get to the trailhead, it’s a three-hour drive from Cusco. To get to the lookout, you’ll need to hike about six miles. The trip is fairly challenging, so it’s not recommended for beginner hikers.

The Rainbow Mountains of China within the Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park are a geological wonder of the world. These famous Chinese mountains are known for their otherworldly colors that mimic a rainbow painted over the tops of rolling mountains.

This is just one example where geology catches our attention and begs the question: What causes the Rainbow Mountains to be colored the way they are? Here I will discuss the diagenetic and mineralogical processes that make up the reds, greens, yellows, and blues.

The Zhangye Danxia National Park is located in the Gansu province in China’s northwest covering 200 square miles. The site was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009 and is the destination for many Chinese and international tourists.

YES, this is a real place. Yes, it’s on this planet. The vibrant colours of the mountains dotting China’s Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park in Gansu Province lend the peaks their nickname: the rainbow mountains. The strata were originally laid down horizontally, one on top of another, like the layers of a cake.

The mountains’ startling hues came from water and oxygen interacting with iron and other elements in the sediment, along with tiny amounts of other minerals left behind by groundwater creeping through the deposits.

Over millions of years, the layers were buried and solidified into rock. Their distinctive slant was caused by the same tectonic forces responsible for the formation of the Himalayas: as the Indian plate crashed into the Eurasian plate, beginning about 40 or 50 million years ago, the overlying land tilted and crumpled into mountains.

After the layers were elevated, erosive forces such as water and wind carved the craggy contours we see today.

#2       Discover China’s Magical Rainbow Mountains,More info:architecturaldigest

Candy-color mountains—with rippling stripes of cerulean blue, vibrant magenta, canary-yellow, and blood-orange—sound like the setting of a whimsical Dr. Seuss story. In China, they’re a reality. Part of the Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park in the Gansu province, these Technicolor peaks are a local tourist attraction known as the Rainbow Mountains. Though the forms seem as if they could be man-made creations—like rainbow layer cookies or painted canvases—their coloration is a completely natural phenomenon. The rainbow striations are the result of centuries of tectonic shifts, climatic conditions, and the erosion of red terrigenous sedimentary beds. China’s not the only country with these vivid, prismatic rock formations, either. Canada is home to what’s called the Rainbow Range—mountains in British Columbia that are said to have gotten their coloration from heavy mineralization—while Peru has the multihued Vinicna Mountain. In 2010, the Zhangye Danxia Landform was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and from the images here, it’s easy to see why.
