SURREAL AND COLORFUL MOUNTAINS IN ARGENTINA - The Hornocal mountain range looks more like a work of art

Is this the world's most colourful mountain range? Surreal photos make Argentinian peaks look like Vincent Van Gogh painting 

 

 

• Photographer Kevin Zaouali shot the ethereal landscapes at the Hornocal mountain range, near the Bolivian border
• The striking mountains are made up of eleven different rock layers which give the effect of a rainbow of reds
• Besides the natural formation, the area boasts remains of human settlements estimated to be 10,000 years old
  

With their vibrant colours, pinpoint constellations and what could be brush strokes, these images are reminiscent of a great post-impressionist masterpiece.

 

One photograph shows a beautiful star stream over the South American night sky, which looks like a huge, celestial pinwheel.  Another contrasts the fire red mountains against the clear blue sky above.

 

 

The striking mountains are part of the Quebrada de Humahuaca valley, a UNESCO world heritage site.  A rainbow of eleven different rock layers gives the peaks their distinctive appearance, and the best position for observation is a nearby hill which is located at an altitude of 4,300m.
