This beautiful place located in Gorafe owes its name to the predominant color in the geological formations of its clay soils.

Los Coloraos is best experienced in early morning or late evening when golden light enhances the colour of the canyon walls into beautiful hues of red, magenta and orange.

This is also an amazing location to cook dinner/breakfast and view sunset/sunrise.

Not suitable for children.

Not suitable for summer.

Bring enough water and food for a day. There is no where to buy or sources in the whole route. There are also no shadows of vegetation, only the shadow of some nook in the terrain.

On the other hand, the desert landscapes are worth the visit.
