Colourful River

Caño Cristales – The Five Colors River


The National Natural Park, in the south end of the department of Meta, Colombia, has an area of 650.000 square kilometres where they will be able to see fascinating waterfalls of all the sizes, mighty rivers, cachiveras, streams and natural meadows.
The river has this pigmentation because the stones are covered with the moss and the algae. Yellow, blue, green, black and red, they are his five colors, which explain for the presence of algae of different colors.
The red color owes to a plant named Macarenia clavigera.Search more related contents -
