The Cerro de los Siete Colores is a mountain in Purmamarca, in northwestern Argentina. The mountain and town are located in the Tumbaya department in the Jujuy province. The mountain is located on the western edge of Purmamarca and has a height of around 2460 meters.
The different shades of color are caused by the presence of various minerals in the rocks. The mountain, with its variety of colors, is typical of the pastel-colored, largely vegetation-free mountains of the Puna.

Beyond the Horizon

October 18, 2024

The colors of the mountain glow in different shades of pink, purple, yellow and red, which is caused by the presence of different minerals in the rock layers. This natural phenomenon not only offers a unique sight, but also gives you the feeling of moving in an almost surreal landscape.

The hike around and up the Cerro de los Siete Colores is easily accessible, and from the viewpoints you have a wonderful view of the village of Purmamarca and the surrounding mountains. A visit is particularly worthwhile in the morning and evening hours, when the light enhances the colors. It feels like walking in a natural open-air museum.

A tip: The altitude of the mountain is about 2460 meters, so you should bring plenty of water and take breaks to get used to the thinner air.

This place is part of the Quebrada de Humahuaca protected area, which means that certain regulations should be followed to preserve nature.
