Peru 🇵🇪, red river Pulchella Pacaymayu

Peru can rightfully be considered a storehouse of natural wonders. What it 's worth to see the famous red river in Cuzco . A raging stream of scarlet color, sweeps down the slope of the mountains. The red color of the river is a seasonal phenomenon. Its intense and unusual shade can be seen only in the season of continuous rains. 

Scientists have found out that the red color acquired by the river is a consequence of the flow of mountain waters through a valley saturated with many different minerals.

It is the minerals that provide saturation of the scarlet flow. In particular, we are talking about iron oxide. This element lies in large quantities under the soil in the valleys of Cuzco.
