The river shown in the pictures is Cano Cristales, a river incredibly colorful. It has many different colors, including yellow, green, blue, black, but mostly red, caused by weeds in the lower river (Macarenia clavigera.) The river is commonly called "the river of five colors", "The arc Liquid Rainbow "" River Ran Away to Paradise "and" the most beautiful river in the world "because of its bright colors. Interestingly, most of the year the river is really indistinguishable from any other river. Usually it's just a lot rock covered in green moss. However, for a short period each year the river back to life in a vibrant explosion of colors. During the short space between the dry and rainy seasons, when the water level is appropriate, a single plant species that lines the river floor called Macarenia clavigera appears. This is offset by patches of yellow and green sand, blue water, and a thousand shades in the site of the river was closed to tourists for several years because of guerrilla activity in the region along with concerns about the impact of unregulated tourist traffic. It was open again to the public in 2009, and today there are several travel agencies in Colombia take visitors on a guided tour around the area.
