The radiant colours of Vinicunca (aka Rainbow Mountain) in Peru might have gone unseen had rising temperatures not melted the peak's glacial caps. Rainbow Mountain's streaky sediment layers, multicoloured like a wildflower bloom, were revealed in 2015. Red clay, white silica and yellow sulphur are among the different minerals painting this stunning peak which has gone on to become the most-visited natural attraction in Peru's lofty Cusco region.
