A cycle around town in Purmamarca, Argentina provides really good views of Cerro de los Siete Colores (Seven-Color Hill) in an 8 kilometer very easy walk that starts in town. The Andes are incredibly interesting from a geological perspective. Seven different layers come from a remarkable range of dates stretching over 400 million years. Each color of rock is a different age.

 

If you are too lazy to walk the loop, there is a small hill in town that provides a good view.

 

Purmamarca itself is a small town situated around a market square. Crafts from all over Central and South America are available.
