In the video, we can see red-coloured water gushing through the valleys of South America. The river in Cusco, Peru, is brick red in colour. You might be wondering how the water turned red.
Well, the red colour phenomenon is caused due to soil erosion from different mineral deposits that are present at the vivid strata of the mountains and valleys. The red sandstone, which is rich in iron oxide, gives the red watercolor.
It is reportedly said that the place is more beautiful when it rains, as the mineral-rich sedimentary rocks are swept down the mountainside, giving the water crimson or pink colour. Take a look at the mesmerising video:
