Cerro de los Siete Colores
Cerro de los Siete Colores (The Hill of Seven Colors) is one of the hills bordering the Quebrada de Purmamarca which is in turn is a western branch of the Quebrada de Humahuaca up to Cuesta del Lipán, in Jujuy Province, Argentina.
Its unique color range is the product of a complex geological history including marine sediments, lake and river movements elevated with the movement of the tectonic plates. Evidence of this history can be seen in the numerous fossils found at the site.
The village of Purmamarca is at its feet and the two form one of the most recognized landscapes of Argentine Northwest and all of Argentina.
At the base of the mountain sits a football field, the home ground of the Santa Rosa de Purmamarca football club, part of the Quebradeña Football League.
