AUSANGATE AND RAINBOW MOUNTAIN

According to the research, the coloration of the rainbow mountain is due to the composition of minerals that it has: the pink color is for the red clay, fangolitas and arilitas. The whitish, for the quartzose sandstone and marls, rich in calcium carbonate. The red is composed of the clay (iron) and clays belonging to the upper tertiary. The green is due to the compound of phyllites and clays rich in ferro magnesian. The earthy brown is a product of fanglomerate composed of rock with magnesium belonging to the Quaternary era. And the mustard yellow color for the calcareous sandstones rich in sulfur minerals, the vinicunca mountain is rich in all these minerals.

CHOQUEQUIRAO TO MACHU PICCHU

Debido a su altitud, Choquequirao tiene un clima templado. Sin embargo, debe tenerse en cuenta que el camino hacia Choquequirao es cálido debido al cañón del Apurimac.
Choquequirao fue presumiblemente usado como un sitio de control para asegurar el acceso a las áreas de Vilcabamba, conectando la selva con otros centros importantes como Pisac y Machu Picchu. Los restos arqueológicos de Choquequirao se componen de edificios y terrazas en diferentes niveles, en los que destacan sus terrazas debido a 22 tallas en piedra con figuras conocidas como "Llamas del Sol" dispuestas en 15 plataformas hacia el nevado Qori Hauyrachina. Choquequirao cuenta con un gran sistema de plataformas / terrazas. 

Machu Picchu

 Es una de las 7 Maravillas del Mundo Moderno, Patrimonio de la Humanidad, Santuario Histórico del Perú y probablemente el sitio arqueológico más importante de América Latina.
 Su majestuosa arquitectura comprende 140 estructuras a lo largo de la ciudadela.
 Fue construido por el Inca Pachacutec alrededor del año 1460.
 Después de ser olvidado, fue solo en 1911 que el estadounidense Hiram Bingham llegó a Machu Picchu en una expedición y extendió el sitio por todo el mundo.
 Sus edificios principales son el Intihuatana, el Templo del Sol y el Templo de las Tres Ventanas.
 En 1913, recibió atención mundial cuando la National Geographic Society dedicó toda su tirada en abril a la ciudad recién redescubierta.
