The giant opened mines of Rio Tinto create an incredible landscape. The extension included not only the surrounding mountains and valleys, but nearby houses, whose inhabitants were forced to move to specially built nearby cities. Named after the river that passes through the region, the region itself was named after the color red which is the Rio Tinto river. It looks like a blood river.

Red waters of the river are highly acidic and rich in heavy metals. The extreme conditions in the river are analogous to other locations in the solar system thought to contain liquid water, such as subterranean Mars. Río Tinto is notable for being very acidic (pH 2) and its deep reddish hue. It is metal solvent and surely not human-friendly. These qualities makes it one of the great place.
