A must-stop location on the road with a brief walk to witness the mesmerizing mini-Arizona waves of wind sculpted in a sandstone gorge.

Welcome to Barranco de Las Vacas, a hidden gem that feels like stepping into a vibrant, natural art gallery. The rocks here boast the most astonishing colors I’ve ever encountered—think delicate shades of pink, blue, and red that blend seamlessly, as if a giant box of crayons had spilled out onto the landscape. It’s like childhood all over again, but instead of chalk in your hands, the chalk is presenting itself to you in nature’s grand display.

But be warned: while the rocks might invite you to explore, the slopes are a different story. They are primarily made up of sand rather than solid sandstone, so climbing them could lead to a slippery adventure!
