Vinicunca, Andes, Peru
(17,100ft/5,212m)
This multicolored mountain in the Peruvian
Andes is not man-made despite what its perfectly symmetrical layers might make
you think. The colorful bands, ranging from pink and red to yellow and green,
are the result of sedimentary layers forming from mineral deposits over the
years. Interestingly, the colorful bands haven't always been visible. Rapid ice
melt revealed the unique colors of the mountains only in the 2010s. Discover

most colorful natural wonders.
