If You Have A Bucket List Of Annual Natural Phenomena To See,

this must be pretty high on the list,

photograph screen shot Facebook Marz Gure, the phenomena is located approximately 100 kilometres from the city of Cusco, near the well-known Palcoyo Rainbow Mountain, the red river is known as Palquella Pucamayu by the locals in Peru’s Vilcanota mountain range, most of the year, Palquella Pucamayu is a muddy-brown colour,

but in the rainy season, (December – April), because the colour of the water is directly influenced by the level of precipitation, large quantities of soil rich in iron oxide are carried down from mountains and color the water bright red, unlike a number of rivers and other attractions that have been photo shopped, this is the real thing, but the rainy season is not the best time to trek through the Vilcanota mountain range, but if you want to witness the blood-red waters of Palquella Pucamayu in person, there is no better time, well the trek through the jungle will make the effort seem all the more worthwhile!
