Multi-colored river in Colombia
Caño Cristales river is located in the Sierra de la Macarena and throughout most of the year is practically no different from any other river. But since September, on the river strange metamorphoses.
It is necessary to explain that the color change takes place from September to November, in the offseason. Under the off-season, we mean the period between the wet and dry seasons. At this time, the heat stimulates the activity of the growth of algae at the bottom of the river, which play virtually all the colors: red, pink, turquoise, etc. This river is often called the river of five colors. Although, in fact, in Spanish name translates as "crystal river." And it really is perfectly clean. And, so that the water in the river is almost identical distilled (neat salts and minerals).
