Los Coloraos Badlands

Highlight • Canyon

This beautiful place located in Gorafe owes its name to the predominant color in the geological formations of its clay soils.

In this lovely canyon, keep your eyes onto the ground. This trail is littered with stunning fossilised minerals. Please: Enjoy searching for them and take your photos but please do not collect and take them home. It is forbidden.
