Mountains That Look Multicolored

Zhangye Danxia – China

These rainbow-striped hills are made from layered sandstone and minerals over millions of years—no filters needed.

Vinicunca (Rainbow Mountain) – Peru

Located in the Andes, its bold red, gold, and turquoise bands come from sedimentary layering and mineral deposits.

Landmannalaugar – Iceland

This volcanic region glows with reds, oranges, and greens due to rhyolite rock and geothermal activity beneath the surface.

Painted Hills – Oregon, USA

These rolling hills are banded with red, yellow, and black due to changing climate and ancient plant layers over millennia.

Ausangate Mountain – Peru

Not far from Rainbow Mountain, Ausangate’s surface also features bright mineral patterns, snow-capped peaks, and deep valleys.

Seven Colored Earths – Mauritius

Though not mountains, these small dunes are famed for their layered, rainbow-like colors caused by volcanic ash and weathering.

Hornocal – Argentina

Known as the “14-Color Mountain,” this remote marvel displays sharp layers of vibrant rock in zig-zagging geometric patterns.
